Traffic Light Payment System
Affiliate Window make payments to affiliates as follows:
1st - 15th validated commissions (e.g. June 08) Payment generated on 1st July (or first working day after) - to credit affiliates bank account after 3 working days.
16th - 31st validated commissions (e.g. June 08)Payment generated 15th July (or first working day after) – to credit affiliates account after 3 working days.
However, whether affiliates for a specific merchant receive payment to this timescale will depend on the traffic light the merchant is set to.
The traffic light system operates as follows:-
Green – This merchant has an up to date payment record and no payment restrictions. Affiliates will be paid for all confirmed commissions regardless of when the merchant pays Affiliate Window.
Amber – This merchant is set to restricted invoice terms. Affiliates will be paid for merchant commissions only when payment for the corresponding invoice has been received by Affiliate Window.
Red – This merchant has severely restricted invoice terms and overdue payment with Affiliate Window. Affiliates will be paid for merchant commissions only when payment for the corresponding invoice, and the other outstanding invoices, has been received by Affiliate Window. The network would recommend affiliates do not promote merchants who are set to this status.
