How to Delete Your Affiliate Account
Close your Heritage Web Affiliate account and understand the implications for pending commissions and referrals.
Quick Answer
To delete your Affiliate account, you must contact [email protected] with your deletion request. Account deletion cannot be done through self-service. Before deleting, ensure you've withdrawn all available commissions, as deletion is permanent and forfeits any unclaimed earnings.

Request payout for any available funds above the minimum threshold

Deletion Process
Step 1: Request Final Payout

Once confirmed, your account will be deleted and you'll receive a final confirmation email
Important Notes
Permanent Decision: Account deletion cannot be reversed

Existing Referrals: Previously referred customers remain attributed, but you won't earn future commissions
Re-enrollment: You can create a new Affiliate account later, but previous referrals won't be restored
Tax Documents: Download all payment records before deletion for tax purposes
