Payments

PayPal Integration

• Connect Your PayPal Account
  In your Affilibee dashboard, go to Account -> PayPal Payouts to link your PayPal account. Make sure your PayPal account has sufficient funds to cover affiliate payouts.
• Affiliate PayPal Accounts
  Each affiliate must also connect their own PayPal account to receive payments automatically. See if affiliates have connected their PayPal accounts in the Affiliate list.

Payment Periods

• Monthly Pay Cycles
  Each month’s commissions enter a “pending” phase on the 1st day of the following month. This pending period allows time to correct any inaccurate commissions or account for refunded orders.
• Confirmation & Lock-In
  On the last day of that following month, the payment period is confirmed. No further changes can be made once the period is confirmed.
• Payout Date
  Payments are scheduled for the 14th of the month after the confirmation date. If PayPal payouts are enabled, funds transfer automatically from your PayPal account to your affiliates’ PayPal accounts.
• Example Scenario
  Your affiliate generates 50 orders in January. On February 1st, the January period goes into pending status. Mid-February, 2 orders are refunded. Those orders are removed from the January period totals. On February 28th, the January period is confirmed (no more changes). Affiliates and you receive a notification, and March 14th is the scheduled payout date.

Tips & Best Practices

• Monitor Your PayPal Balance
  Ensure you have enough funds in your PayPal account before the scheduled payout date.
• Double-Check Orders
  Make any necessary adjustments (e.g., refunds or changed commissions) before the payment period is confirmed.
• Communication with Affiliates
  Let affiliates know when to expect payouts and update them on any delays or changes.
