Quarterly affiliate payouts
Understand closed quarters and recorded payments.
Completed quarters
Payout bookkeeping is quarterly after a calendar quarter closes. The current quarter is not closed. Eligible commissions and the coded 30-day hold are checked before payment can be recorded.
Paid records
The operator makes the PayPal payment separately, then a platform administrator records its amount, transaction reference and payment date. A Paid record is operator bookkeeping, not an automatic PayPal API transfer or confirmation. Paid quarters cannot be paid again through the same quarter action.
Timing and eligibility
No payment on a particular calendar date is guaranteed. There is no minimum payout threshold at launch ($0), but payment requires a positive eligible payable balance. Legitimately earned payable commissions are not automatically forfeited when participation ends unless another valid denial or reversal basis applies. See PayPal payout information and the Affiliate Terms for fees, taxes and eligibility.
