The Bulk Purchase API does not provide a commission for avatar item sales

Hi!

I tried this new Bulk Purchase API in my experience (not in studio) to purchase several third-party, unlimited items all at once. However, the items were qualified for affiliate commission but I didn’t get the affiliate commission for selling the assets using the BulkPurchase method.

Am I supposed to receive the commission, or is this some sort of bug, probably in the configuration of the API? Are there any further criteria or restrictions that might have been missed, considering commissions on such an item?

Any guidance will be highly appreciated!

Expected behavior

It should, therefore, be expected that for each sale realized on all eligible third-party non-limited items using the Bulk Purchase API, an affiliate commission would be credited to me in line with the policy of the affiliate program. Ideally, this should happen automatically upon completion of the purchase without extra steps being taken by me.

Was a comission granted if you used PromptPurchase in the exact same conditions? Roblox previously had awkward logic in where certain sales would not get a comission in order to combat the “40% method” many players were abusing, affecting many legitimate use-cases.

Yeah, I think so. The items were supposed to be eligible for commission. If I use promptPurchase method to purchase the items individually, it will give me the commission.
