When and how do I get paid?
ShareASale: SAS issues payments via check and Direct Deposit on the 20th of each month. These payments are made to those affiliates who have reached the $50 minimum BEFORE the end of the previous month. For example, if an affiliate earns $50 by the end of February, they are paid those commissions on March 20th. If the affiliate did not reach the $50 minimum until March 1st, those commissions would be paid on April 20th. Time is allowed for merchants to review sales and leads in the case of returns, invalid credit cards, or even fraud.
LinkShare: Our standard payment terms require LinkShare's advertisers to pay by the end of the calendar month once the invoice is posted. For example, commissions earned during the month of October (which are invoiced in early November) would be paid by most of our advertisers by November 30th and processed and paid, in turn, by LinkShare as part of the first December payment batch.
