Taking commission as credit is often the most practical option.
HOW IT WORKS
The commission is applied to your account balance. When an invoice is generated, available credit is applied automatically, reducing or clearing the amount due.
WHY IT SUITS MANY AFFILIATES
If you host with us, it directly offsets your own costs. A designer who refers a handful of clients a year may cover their own hosting entirely.
There is no transfer fee, no waiting for a payment run, and no minimum beyond the payout threshold.
THINGS TO KNOW
Credit is applied to invoices in order and cannot usually be directed at a specific one. Credit is generally not withdrawable as cash once applied. Credit does not prevent suspension if an invoice remains only partly covered. Check the balance due, not just that credit exists.
WHERE TO SEE IT
The dashboard and the Billing section show your credit balance.
CHOOSING
If you are an active affiliate with meaningful earnings you may prefer another payout method. If you refer occasionally and host with us, credit is usually the sensible choice.
