What turns a referred sale into a commission?
Choose which sales earn a reward in the affiliate group’s rules. A sale can create a pending commission while a hold period or review runs. Use that interval to check whether the payment still qualifies.
Does connecting checkout send the affiliate their money?
The connection records the sale. For manual payouts, Affonso provides method-specific CSV exports. Your team sends the money with its payment provider and marks it paid after checking the transfer. Managed Payouts is a separate option on Growth or higher that uses a funded invoice.
What affects your plan and what should you save?
The current Launch plan lists up to US$1,000 per month in revenue from affiliates. That is the sale revenue attributed to affiliates. Your commission calculation and any managed payout fees are separate. Keep the selected payout CSV, commission rules and transfer records in a restricted place.
Would an approved referral show up as paid?
