Rootabl makes managing your affiliate commissions seamless, allowing you to focus on growing your business and partnerships. Here’s everything you need to know about how our affiliate commission system works, as well as the customization options available.
How Commissions Are Deducted
Rootabl automatically deducts commissions owed to your affiliates 30 days after a sale is made. Alongside the commission, a transaction fee of 5% of the commission amount (not the sale amount) is applied. This fee covers the cost of the transfers, ensuring there are no additional fees related to payout processing.
Who Pays the Transaction Fee?
You can choose to either:
Pay the transaction fee yourself, or
Pass the fee along to your affiliates.
This flexibility allows you to decide what works best for your business model.
Affiliate Payment Timeline
After the commission amount is deducted from your account, your affiliates will receive their earnings within 15 days (usually sooner), deposited directly into their bank account of choice.
We also handle reporting and tax forms, saving you the hassle of managing these responsibilities.
Adjustable Settings for Businesses
While our system is designed to streamline payouts, there are a couple of customizable settings to suit your business needs:
Refund Window:
The default review window is 7 days. This delay ensures that refunds or disputes can be resolved before payout. However, you can adjust this window:Minimum: 7 days (to pay affiliates faster)
Maximum: 90 days (for businesses with longer refund policies)
Recommendation: We suggest keeping the default 7-day window for optimal balance.
Transaction Fee Responsibility:
Decide whether to absorb the 5% transaction fee or pass it on to affiliates. This choice applies across your entire business.
