What's The Threshold?
Skimlinks payments are made at the end of each month. We pay you the cleared account balance as long as it's over the minimum amount of $10/€8/£7.
How Long Till I Get Paid?
At the end of each month we pay to our publishers the total amount of commissions that have entered their cleared balance.
For commissions to enter the cleared balance they have had to be approved by the retailer and paid by the affiliate network who we used to handle the transaction.
The time it takes for an individual commission to clear can vary depending on the retailer or network involved, but typically this takes around 60 days, meaning that it can take around 90 days for a individual commission to clear, and then be paid at the end of the month.
Why Does It Take This Length Of Time To Clear?
It is possible for commissions to be cancelled by the network or retailer at any point, this can be due to fraud, returning of the good or other errors in the transaction.
Specific Example:
Commissions earned for example in November will begin to enter the cleared balance during February and paid during the payment run at the end of February.
