Payouts
Know what you earn before you send a click.
affiliate.love publishes payout terms with the campaign, not after it. You see the model, the hold period and the payment date up front. No guessing. No chasing an account manager for a number.
Three payout models
Pick the model that fits your traffic.
Each campaign runs on one of three models. Read them once. Then filter the marketplace by the one that suits how you buy.
-
CPA
Cost per action
You are paid when a user finishes the action the advertiser named.
A sale, a signup or an install. The brief spells out which one counts.
Fixed amount per action
-
CPL
Cost per lead
You are paid for a lead the advertiser accepts as real.
Form quality rules sit in the brief. Junk leads are rejected, not silently held.
Fixed amount per lead
-
RevShare
Share of revenue
You earn a share of what the customer spends over time.
Slower to start. It keeps paying while the customer stays active.
Percentage, paid on a cycle

From click to cleared
Four stages sit between a click and your money.
Nothing here is hidden. You can watch a conversion move through each stage in your dashboard. The stage it sits in tells you why it has not paid yet.
See how tracking links are built-
Click is tracked
Your link carries a click ID. That ID travels with the user to the advertiser.
-
Conversion posts back
The advertiser fires a postback. A postback is a server message that reports the sale.
-
Hold period runs
The advertiser checks for refunds and bad traffic. Each brief names its own hold length.
-
Payment run clears
Approved earnings move into the next run. You see the date before you promote.
Getting paid
How the payment run works.
One schedule for the whole marketplace. Your balance clears on the same rhythm whether you run one campaign or twenty.
- Balance
- Approved earnings from every live campaign roll into one balance.
- Threshold
- A minimum applies. Your dashboard shows how close the balance is.
- Run date
- Payments leave on a fixed schedule, published in your account.
- Disputes
- A held conversion shows a reason. You can reply to it in the same view.
Dates, methods and thresholds live on the payment schedule page. Approval rules live on how approval works.
Common questions
Five things publishers ask us first.
Why is a conversion still on hold?
The advertiser is still inside the hold period. It guards against refunds and cancelled orders. The end date sits next to the conversion.
Can a payout be reversed?
Yes, if the sale is refunded or the traffic fails review. We show the reason and the campaign it came from. Clean traffic rarely sees a reversal.
Do RevShare campaigns pay forever?
They pay while the customer stays active. Each brief states the length of that window. Some run for a set term instead.
What happens if tracking breaks?
Tell us the campaign and the day. We check the postback log with the advertiser. Missing conversions are added back once they are proved.
Does compliance affect my payout?
It can. Placements that break the advertiser rules are not paid. Our compliance rules list what is allowed.
