How Payout schedule work

Program owners configure a payout schedule in Partnero. On each scheduled date, the platform identifies all affiliates with a balance above the payout threshold and processes payments automatically (if auto-pay is enabled) or creates a payout batch for manual review and approval.

Why it matters for your program

A consistent, predictable payout schedule builds trust with affiliates. Partners who know exactly when they will be paid — and who receive payment on that date every time — are significantly more engaged and loyal. Irregular or unpredictable payment timelines are among the top reasons affiliates leave programs.
