How Payouts Work

Payouts are rewards owed to affiliates when their referrals meet program conditions.

The Payout Flow

  1. An affiliate shares their referral link

  2. A user signs up via that link

  3. Depending on the program trigger:

    • Sign Up programs: Payout generated immediately as Ready

    • Transaction programs: Transactions tracked; when confirmed and eligible, payout becomes Ready

  4. Admin reviews Ready payouts and pays or rejects

  5. Full audit trail recorded

Grouped Payouts

Each affiliate's Ready payouts are grouped into a single batch row rather than listed separately:

  • One row shows a # of Payouts count and the combined Payouts Owed total.

  • If a batch mixes signup and transaction payouts, the Event Type shows Mixed.

  • A batch is always for a single affiliate in a single currency.

  • Affiliate and program names are clickable, opening the affiliate or program with a link back to payouts.

Dates and times across the payouts UI and CSV exports are shown in your browser's local timezone.

Summary Cards

Pending, Ready, and Paid totals are shown at the top of the payouts page.

Filtering

Switch between Pending, Ready, Paid, and Rejected tabs. Filter by affiliate and search by name, email, program, or transaction ID.
