Payouts

Affitor handles all partner payouts. This guide explains payout schedules, methods, and how the process works.

How Payouts Work

You don't need to manage individual partner payments. Affitor handles everything.

Payout Schedule

| Frequency | Schedule | |-----------|----------| | Bi-weekly | Every 2 weeks |

Partners receive payouts on a fixed bi-weekly cycle for all cleared commissions in their Withdrawable balance.

Payout Methods

Partners choose their preferred payout method in their Affitor dashboard:

| Method | Availability | Processing time | |--------|--------------|-----------------| | Bank transfer | Global | 2-5 business days | | Wise | Global | 1-2 business days | | Stripe | Where available | 1-2 business days |

Partners manage their own payout settings. You don't need to collect banking details.

Payout Threshold

Minimum payout: $5

Partners working through Affitor often promote multiple programs simultaneously. Affitor aggregates earnings across all programs into a single balance, making payouts efficient for everyone.

Partner Balance States

Commission moves through these states:

| State | Meaning | |-------|---------| | Pending | Within hold period, subject to refund | | Withdrawable | Cleared hold period, ready for payout | | Paid | Sent to partner's bank/Wise/Stripe |

Partners see all states in their dashboard with full transaction history.

What Partners See

In their Affitor dashboard, partners can view:

• Pending balance – Commissions still in hold period
• Withdrawable balance – Ready to be paid out
• Payout history – All past payments with dates and amounts
• Transaction details – Individual sales and commission earned

Refunds After Payout

If a customer refunds after commission was paid to partner:

| Scenario | What happens | |----------|--------------| | Partner has balance | Refund amount deducted from next payout | | Partner has no balance | Negative balance carried forward |

This protects you from paying commission on refunded sales.

Your Role

As an advertiser, you:

| Do | Don't | |----|-------| | Approve/reject transactions | Manage individual partner payments | | Set hold period length | Collect partner banking details | | Monitor commission costs | Process payout transfers |

Affitor handles the operational complexity of paying partners worldwide.

Payout Fees

| Fee | Who pays | |-----|----------| | Payout processing | Affitor (included in platform fee) | | Currency conversion | Partner (if applicable) | | Bank receiving fees | Partner's bank (varies) |

No additional fees charged to advertisers for partner payouts.
