Payment Schedule & Minimum Threshold

Quick Answer

Partners can request PayPal payouts anytime after reaching a minimum balance of $50 and two lifetime referrals. Commissions must be claimed within 365 days, or they expire.

Overview

Partner commissions are available for payout on demand through PayPal once you meet the program requirements. You must reach two milestones to receive payments: generate at least 2 referrals lifetime and maintain a $50 minimum balance. Understanding these requirements helps you plan your promotional efforts and manage earnings effectively.

Key Details

Payment Schedule

On-Demand Processing Request payouts anytime your balance reaches $50 and you have 2 lifetime referrals. Payment will be processed within 3-5 business days after your request. No waiting for monthly cycles - get paid when you need it. Commissions are calculated on a NET-30 basis from referral payments.

Payment Notifications You'll receive email confirmation when you request a payout. A payment completion notification is sent when funds are transferred to PayPal. Track all payout history in your Partner Portal. Monitor your balance in real-time as commissions accumulate.

Minimum Requirements

Two-Referral Threshold: You must generate at least 2 referrals in your partner account lifetime before any payments can be processed. These can be any combination of free signups or paid subscriptions. This one-time requirement unlocks your ability to receive payouts permanently.

$50 Minimum Balance: Your account balance must be at least $50 to request a payout. Commissions accumulate until reaching this threshold. Once you hit $50, you can request a payout of your full balance. Up to one payout request per month is accepted.

Commission Claim Period

365-Day Expiration: Commissions earned expire 365 days after they are generated. You must claim commissions within this period or they're forfeited. The Partner Portal displays commission age and expiration dates under 'Payouts'.

Avoiding Expiration: Set up your PayPal immediately after joining to enable payout requests. Request payouts regularly when you reach the $50 threshold. Enable email notifications for commission alerts in My Profile. Check your Partner Portal quarterly to monitor commission status.

Payment Method Setup

Adding PayPal Navigate to partners.heritageweb.com and log in. Click "Payouts" in the top navigation. Click "Edit" next to Payout details. Enter your PayPal email address. Click "Update" to save changes.

Requesting Payouts Once you meet the requirements, go to the Payouts page. Click "Request Payout" when your balance exceeds $ 50. Confirm your PayPal email is correct. Submit the request and wait 3-5 business days for processing.

Important Notes

  • No payment fees: Heritage Web covers all PayPal transaction fees

  • Multiple referral types: Both free and paid referrals count toward your 2-referral minimum

  • No automatic payments: You must manually request each payout

  • Tax responsibility: Partners are responsible for their tax reporting

  • Payment failures: Failed PayPal payments require updating payment info and resubmitting the request

FAQs

What happens if I don't have 2 referrals yet? Your commissions accumulate in your account, but you cannot request payouts until you reach 2 lifetime referrals. There's no time limit to reach this milestone.

Can I change the payment threshold? No, the $50 minimum is fixed for all partners to minimize transaction fees and processing overhead.

What if my PayPal payment fails? Check that your PayPal email is correct in the Partner Portal. Update if needed and request payout again. Contact [email protected] if issues persist.

Do expired commissions count toward the $50 threshold? No, only active commissions (within 365 days) count toward your payout threshold. Expired commissions are removed from your balance.

How quickly are payouts processed? Payout requests typically process within 3-5 business days. You'll receive an email confirmation when the payment completes.
