You must have at least 2 successful referrals (lifetime requirement) and request your payout through the Affiliate Portal—payments are not automatic.

FAQs

Why isn't my payment automatic? Heritage Web requires manual payout requests to ensure payment methods are current and to comply with tax regulations.

Can I change the minimum threshold? No. Minimum thresholds are fixed at $50 for PayPal/ACH and $500 for wire transfers.

What if I don't meet the minimum this month? Your balance carries forward to the next month. Continue earning until you meet the threshold.

When exactly will I receive payment? Payments are initiated on the 1st and typically arrive within 3-5 business days depending on your payment method and bank.

Can I request payout before the 60-day review period? No. Commissions must complete the 60-day review period before becoming available for payout.
