Payouts Overview
Process affiliate commission payments
Overview
PromoteKit makes it easy to pay your affiliates their earned commissions. You can pay affiliates directly to their bank accounts with Stripe Connect Payouts, export batch payment files for PayPal or Wise, or pay through any other method and record the payout manually.
Choose your method under Settings → Affiliate Program → Affiliate Payout Method.
Payout Timing
By default, PromoteKit uses NET-15 payout terms. This means commissions are due 15 days after the start of the month. For example, commissions earned in December would be due for payout on or after January 15.
To change your payout terms:
- Go to Campaign Settings in your PromoteKit dashboard
- Click your default campaign
- Expand Advanced Campaign Settings
- Select your preferred payout term

- Go to Generate Payouts in PromoteKit
- Mark the payment as complete
Regardless of payment method, always mark payouts as complete in PromoteKit so your records stay accurate.
