Payouts & Commissions

How commissions are calculated and how affiliates get paid.

Can I pay affiliates in their own currency?

Yes. LinkJolt tracks each campaign in the merchant's currency, and payouts can be made through Stripe Connect or CSV export so you can settle with affiliates in the currency that suits them.

Can I reward top affiliates with a higher commission rate?

Yes, with commission tiers. Set rate bands by sales volume on a campaign, and an affiliate moves up to the higher rate as their own sales reach each band. Tiers apply to one-time sales; recurring subscriptions use the recurring rate.

Does LinkJolt hold my money or process my payments?

No. LinkJolt never holds or processes your funds. You keep your own Stripe or Paddle account, payments go straight to you, and LinkJolt only records conversions and facilitates affiliate payouts.

How are recurring commissions calculated for subscriptions?

When recurring commissions are enabled on a campaign, LinkJolt records a commission on each subscription renewal at your configured rate, until the optional cap is reached. You choose whether the cap counts months or payments.

What happens to an affiliate's commission when a sale is refunded?

The commission is automatically reversed and marked refunded, and any payout still queued for it is cancelled. A partial refund reduces the commission in proportion to the amount refunded.

When and how do affiliates actually get paid?

You approve a commission, then pay the affiliate by Stripe Connect (automated) or CSV export (manual). On Professional and Ultimate you can turn on auto-payout, which queues approved commissions and pays them automatically within about 24 hours.
