With Auto Payouts enabled, Affonso handles the entire affiliate payment process from start to finish. No more chasing invoices, managing banking details, or worrying about tax forms — you handle one monthly invoice and we take care of everything else.

💡 Auto Payouts are exclusively available with the Growth Plan.

How Auto Payouts Work

When Auto Payouts are enabled, Affonso manages the end-to-end process of distributing affiliate commissions:

1. Monthly Invoice – Sent NET 7

In the first week of each month, we generate an invoice summarizing all approved commissions from the previous month. Only commissions that have cleared your program-specific hold period are included.

Service Fee: Each invoice includes a flat $25 service fee covering operational and compliance work for global payouts (waived for Elite Plan users).

⏱️ Important: We begin processing affiliate payouts only after receiving your payment, so prompt payment prevents delays for your affiliates.

2. Pay Affonso – We Handle the Rest

You can pay the invoice using:

Bank Transfer – Fixed $10 processing fee per transaction
PayPal – 5.5% fee covering international processing and incoming transaction costs
Credit Card via Stripe – 2.9% + $0.30 standard card processing fee

Currency Notes:

All invoices are issued in USD
If your program operates in another currency, we convert commission amounts to USD using the exchange rate on invoice creation day
Additional currency conversion fees may apply for different billing currencies

3. Global Affiliate Payouts

Once we receive funds, we distribute affiliate earnings via:

Bank Wire Transfers
PayPal

Important: All affiliate payouts are made in USD. Different commission currencies are converted to USD using the exchange rate on invoice creation day.

Fees: All fees related to receiving affiliate payouts (bank or platform fees) are the affiliate's responsibility, following industry standard practice.

4. Tax & Compliance Handled

Affonso manages all tax and compliance tasks in the background:

Collecting required forms from affiliates
Generating proper documentation
Ensuring everything stays compliant
No paperwork or follow-ups required from you

✅ You receive one invoice, make one payment – we handle everything else.

5. High-Volume Payout Fee

For more than 25 affiliates in a single month, we charge an additional $0.50 per affiliate payout beyond the first 25.
