For tech savvy Publishers there is now an important new Web service available from LinkShare that lets you access Publisher Payment Reports without logging into the Publisher Dashboard!
You can access the Payment History Summary, Advertiser Payments History, and Payment Details Report just like the Signature Orders Report—all without logging in. These payment reports are run the same way that Signature Orders is, with a direct URL call.
The Publisher Payment report provides the payment amount, the date issued, the currency, and other details on each consolidated payment you receive from LinkShare. It also includes the Payment ID, which you will need if you want to run the Advertiser Payments History and Payment Details Report. To download the Payment History Summary, just place a Web Services call using REST.
Download the PDF containing all the more details including the URL syntax, check out this article in the Publisher Help Center.
