Payouts

Commissions accrue per referred transaction. Payouts group an affiliate’s unpaid commissions into a single numbered payout you settle.

Payout settings

Workspace-level settings, under the Affiliates area:

• Minimum payout amount: an affiliate’s unpaid balance must reach this threshold before a payout is generated; smaller balances roll over.
• Payout numbering: payouts are numbered sequentially. Choose the starting number if you want continuity with a previous system.

Generating payouts

Generate payouts manually per affiliate at any time, or turn on automatic payouts and pick a schedule: weekly, biweekly, or monthly, on the day you choose. Each run collects every affiliate’s unpaid commissions above the threshold into new payouts. Affiliates on payout hold are skipped until you release the hold.

Payout statuses

A payout moves through a simple lifecycle:

1. Generated: created and waiting to be settled.
2. Requested: the affiliate asked for payment from their portal.
3. Paid: you settled it and marked it paid, with the method and amount recorded.
4. Cancelled: the payout was voided and its commissions returned to the unpaid pool.

Paying with PayPal

Each affiliate has a payout email on their profile. Send the payout amount to that address through PayPal (single sends, or PayPal’s batch tools for many at once), then mark the payout paid in Partner Console.

Paying manually

Any other channel works the same way: bank transfer, check, or whatever you and the affiliate agree on. Settle the money outside, then mark the payout paid with the method noted, so the affiliate’s portal reflects it.
