Approval and payment are two separate steps. For a 2-Step, 1-Step or Instant first order, your commission is approved 14 days after the purchase; once approved, it is paid in full, with nothing kept back as a reserve, on your payment cycle — monthly, every two weeks or weekly depending on your rate — and the minimum payment is $100. Chargebacks, confirmed fraud and goodwill refunds on a customer you referred are deducted from your balance. Commission is not a salary or guaranteed income: it depends entirely on first orders from customers you referred.
When you are paid: approval, payment cycle and minimum
1. Approval. For a 2-Step, 1-Step or Instant first order, a commission is approved 14 days after the purchase. For a Flash customer, a person confirms when approval starts.
2. Payment cycle. Once approved, the commission is paid in full; no reserve is kept back. How often you are paid depends on your rate, which rises with the total net revenue you have referred:
Your rate | Total net revenue you have referred | How often you are paid |
12% | From your first customer | Monthly |
15% | From $5,000 | Every two weeks |
20% | From $25,000 | Weekly |
25% | From $100,000 | Weekly |
3. Minimum payment. $100.
Key rule: Approval is not payment. Approval is dated from the purchase (14 days, for a 2-Step, 1-Step or Instant first order); the payment follows on your payment cycle, and the minimum payment is $100.
What is deducted
Deductions. Chargebacks, confirmed fraud and goodwill refunds on a customer you referred are deducted from your balance.
A deduction can arrive after a commission has been paid. It comes off your balance, and if deductions take your balance below zero, the negative balance is offset against your future commissions.
Fee back is not deducted. When a customer you referred gets their fee back after that account's fourth payout, nothing is deducted from your balance.
Example
This example shows how approval and payment timing work. It is not a typical or expected amount, and commission depends entirely on first orders from customers you refer.
A partner on the 12% rate refers a customer who buys a 1-Step on 1 October. The commission is approved on 15 October, 14 days after the purchase. That is the approval date, not the payment date: on the 12% rate the partner is paid monthly, so the approved commission is paid in full on the partner's monthly cycle, and the minimum payment is $100.
Later, that customer reaches the fourth payout on the same 1-Step account and gets the account's fee back. Nothing is deducted from the partner's balance.
