Payouts
How partner commissions move through Affitor's payout workflow.
Understand how cleared commissions move toward partner payment and what role the advertiser still plays.
How payouts work
At a high level:
- a sale is attributed
- commission is created
- commission moves through review / hold workflow
- cleared earnings become withdrawable within the payout process
- partner payout is processed through Affitor
You do not need to manage individual partner transfers yourself.
Payout Methods
Depending on availability and partner setup, payout methods can include:
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Bank transfer | Common partner payout path |
| Wise | Used where supported |
| Stripe | Used where supported |
Partners manage their payout details inside the payout workflow; advertisers do not need to collect bank details directly.
Balance States
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Still in hold/review workflow |
| Withdrawable | Cleared and available for payout workflow |
| Paid | Completed payout |
Your Role as Advertiser
| Do | Don’t |
|---|---|
| review transactions/commissions where needed | manage individual partner bank transfers |
| configure commission and hold settings | build your own payout ops layer for each partner |
| monitor affiliate cost and performance | manually reconcile every partner payment outside the workflow |
Refunds
If a refund happens, the commission is reconciled through the commission/payout workflow based on where it currently sits in the lifecycle.
