You can expect affiliate commissions to be paid on various schedules. Many programs pay monthly, processing payments at the end of the following month. Affiliates often receive their commissions around the 20th of each month for verified sales. Some programs offer bi-monthly payments, providing funds twice a month. You may also encounter Net 30 or Net 60 setups, where payments occur 30 or 60 days after the sale. Programs may require you to reach a minimum payout threshold before receiving payment. Overall, the frequency depends on the specific affiliate program you choose.
