Key takeaways

Transcript

You've earned some commissions. So how does that money actually reach your bank account? Here's how payouts really work. First, sales get approved. Companies wait a little to make sure the order is real and not refunded. Pending becomes approved. Then there's a payout schedule, and often a minimum. For example, once you pass fifty dollars, you get paid on a set day each month. Payments usually land through Stripe, PayPal, or a bank transfer, straight to your account. Good platforms show a clear balance and a firm date. Some programs hold longer or have confusing rules. The best ones pay on time, every time, with no surprises. Approved, scheduled, paid. Komissio runs payouts through Stripe automatically, so affiliates get paid on the day they were promised.
