Payments are the final operational stage of the affiliate workflow. After orders are attributed and commissions are calculated, Affilibee groups those commissions into payment periods, confirms them on a schedule, and prepares them for payout.
Affilibee does not pay commissions immediately when an order is submitted. Instead, commissions move into payment periods, which create a review window before payout is finalized. This gives merchants time to account for refunds, corrections, or other commission-affecting changes.
PayPal is currently the supported payout method, which means both the merchant and the affiliate need the relevant PayPal setup in place before automated payouts can succeed.
Each month's earned commissions move into a pending phase on the first day of the following month. During that pending period, there is still time to review order adjustments and commission corrections before the numbers are locked.
On the last day of that following month, the payment period is confirmed. After confirmation, the period stops being editable and moves toward payout according to the configured schedule.
Payouts are then scheduled for the fourteenth day of the month after confirmation.
The payments section lets you see the state of each payment batch, including whether it is still pending, already processing, or paid. It also shows the amount represented by the batch and the timing attached to it.
This is the page to review when you want to know whether an affiliate's commissions are still adjustable, already locked into a confirmed period, or on the way to payout.
Inside a payment batch, you can inspect the affiliate-level payouts and the orders included in that batch. This connects the payout event back to the underlying attributed orders that generated the commissions.
If something looks wrong at payout time, this is usually the right level to check whether the issue came from order inclusion, commission totals, or payout readiness.
If you need to understand how commissions arrived at a payment period, continue with Orders and Commissions. If a payout looks wrong, Troubleshooting can help you narrow down whether the issue began with attribution, commission logic, or payout readiness.
We help teams run affiliate programs through API-first integrations that fit the platform they already use.
