This page covers the money: how your commission becomes a balance, how to set up a payment method, and how to withdraw. ## Your balance The **Payout** tab shows three numbers: - **Ready to withdraw** — the available balance you can cash out now - **Pending** — earned but not yet cleared for withdrawal - **Total paid** — your lifetime earnings paid out An approved commission is added to your balance, but you can withdraw it only once the brand has paid the invoice that covers it. Until then it shows under **Ready to withdraw** as **Awaiting brand payment**. Commissions approved before October 9, 2026, 00:00 Pacific time (07:00 UTC) became withdrawable on approval. ## 1. Set up a payment method Before you can withdraw, add a payment method under **Profile → Payout**. Enter your country, currency, and account details. Available methods depend on your country and currency: | Country / currency | Methods | | --- | --- | | US / USD | Bank account (ACH) or Wise | | Vietnam / VND | Bank account (BIC/SWIFT) | | Vietnam / USD | Bank account (BIC/SWIFT) or Wise | | Other | Bank account (BIC/SWIFT) or Wise | ## 2. Withdraw Open **Withdraw** from the Payout tab. It's a three-step wizard: 1. **Amount** — enter how much to withdraw, pick your method, and see any processing fee 2. **Review** — confirm the details 3. **Pay** — submit your withdrawal :::note A processing fee may apply depending on the method; the exact amount is shown before you confirm. The minimum withdrawal is $10, and you can withdraw any amount from $10 up to your available balance. ::: ## 3. When you get paid After you submit a withdrawal, the Affitor team reviews it and marks it as sent. Once it's sent, how long the funds take to reach your account depends on your bank or Wise. You can follow the status — pending → processing → completed — in your payout history. ## After a refund If a sale is later refunded, the related commission is reversed: before it is approved it never reaches your balance, and after approval the amount is deducted from your balance. If you had already withdrawn that commission, your balance can go negative: the Payout tab shows it as **Balance owed**, and it is recovered from your next commissions.
