Processing payouts
Review what affiliates are owed, export payment files, and mark payouts as paid.
The Payouts page tracks what you owe affiliates. RefCampaign calculates the amounts and keeps the record. It does not move money, so you pay affiliates through your own provider and mark each payout as paid.
How payouts are grouped
Payouts sort into three buckets:
- Upcoming — due in the future.
- Overdue — past their due date.
- Paid — settled.
Commissions from a closed month are grouped into a monthly cycle, with a due date set by your payment term (NET-15, NET-30, or NET-60). A payout past its due date shows an Overdue badge. Each payout carries a status: Pending, Invoice received, Approved, Paid, Rejected, or Cancelled.
Set a payout threshold
Under Settings → Organization, set the minimum payout amount (default €50). Affiliates can request a payout only once their balance reaches it. Smaller balances carry forward to the next cycle.
