When a sale happens, PromoteBoost attributes it in this order:

  1. Coupon code — Always wins if used

  2. Checkout metadata — Referral passed to Stripe

  3. Cookie — Last click wins


Payout Settings

Affiliates must reach this balance before they can be paid:

Amount
Use Case

$100+

High-volume programs

Payout Term

Commissions stay "pending" for this period before becoming eligible for payout:

Description

Net-7

7 days after the payout cycle

Net-15

15 days after the payout cycle

Net-30
