At Rootabl, we make affiliate payouts effortless, clear, and flexible. Here’s how it works—and how you can customize it to fit your business needs.
How Affiliate Payouts Work
Automatic Payouts
Rootabl deducts affiliate commissions from your account 30 days after a sale is made.
We also deduct a 5% transaction fee (based on the commission amount, not the sale). This fee covers transfer costs.
Who Pays the Fee?
You choose:
Cover the 5% fee yourself, or
Pass the fee along to your affiliates.
There are no extra costs beyond this fee.
When Affiliates Get Paid
Affiliates receive their earnings in their chosen bank account within 15 days of the funds being withdrawn from your account—often sooner!
Built-In Tax and Currency Support
Rootabl takes care of tax forms and currency conversions automatically.
Payments can be made in 135+ currencies, so paying international affiliates is seamless.
Setting Up Payments
Connect Your Bank Account
Log into your Rootabl account.
Go to Business Settings > Payment Integrations.
Enter the name of your business or personal account in the Name on Bank Account field.
Click Connect Bank Account and follow Stripe’s prompts to link your account.
How the Payment Process Works
An affiliate makes a sale (hooray!).
After 30 days, the commission is deducted from your connected account.
This 30-day period gives you time to process refunds or make adjustments. Refund amounts are automatically removed from the commission total.
Affiliates are paid directly into their bank accounts, and they can set up automatic withdrawals if they want.
How To Customize Payouts
Change the Review Period
The default review period is 30 days. You can adjust it to:
7 days to pay affiliates faster.
90 days if your refund policy needs more time.
Important: Adjusting the review period applies to your entire business and must be requested by email or chat with our team.
Choose Who Covers the Fee
By default, you (the business) cover the 5% transaction fee.
If you prefer, you can pass this fee on to affiliates.
Helpful Tips
We recommend sticking with the 30-day review period unless you have a long refund policy.
Customizing payout settings (like review periods or fees) is easy—just let our team know via email or chat.
