Affiliate payouts hub
Affiliate payouts for SaaS work best when four things are explicit: payout timing, minimum threshold, refund or clawback rules, and the report you review before sending money. Use this hub to choose the payout policy page or tool that matches the exact operational task you need to solve.

If you are setting up affiliate payouts, start with a monthly or Net-30 schedule, set a minimum threshold such as $50, publish refund and clawback rules, and review a payout CSV before paying affiliates manually. The pages below map each of those decisions to a specific template or workflow.
