How commissions actually work, end to end

Attribution

Your link carries a code. When someone clicks it, that code is remembered for 90 days. If they become a paying customer inside the window, the sale is yours — including when they buy on a later visit.

Accrual

The moment a referred customer pays, your commission is booked with status ACCRUING. It computes in the 15–30% band of net revenue depending on the product, times your personal quality multiplier.

Validation → PAYABLE

Commissions wait out a 30-day validation window — the refund period. If the sale sticks, status moves to PAYABLE automatically.

Clawbacks

If a sale refunds, the matching commission reverses to CLAWED_BACK, whatever its status. This is the mechanism that makes accurate description profitable: partners who oversell watch their commissions reverse.

Payout → PAID

PAYABLE balances of $50 or more are included in payout runs and sent to your verified method; below $50 they roll forward untouched. Payouts require two verifications: your payout account's name must match yours, and your identity must be verified (see “Getting paid”).

The multiplier

Between 0.85× and 1.5×, moved by the retention and refund quality of customers you refer, human-approved, forward-only. Twelve months of commissions per customer; renewals inside that year pay the same way the first payment did.
