How do I get paid as an affiliate?

LiveRec EditorialUpdated

To get paid as an affiliate, request a payout once your available balance is at least $100 and your payout details, ID check and tax form are done. Payouts are sent by bank transfer through our payout partner, in US dollars. Transfer fees are deducted from the payout. Bank transfer is the only payout method open right now.

Steps

  1. Settings, Payout details: under Get paid by, choose Bank transfer and enter your bank details. You confirm it is you with a one-time code first. Other payout options may appear but are not open right now ("Use bank transfer.").
  2. Verification (reached from Status): choose Start verification for the ID check.
  3. Add your tax form under Settings, Payout details, in the Tax form section. See Tax form.
  4. Payout: when the balance reaches the minimum, choose Request payout, enter the amount in dollars, choose Review request (you see the exact fee), then Confirm request. A one-time security code confirms the request is yours.
  5. Follow it in Payout history. Statuses are Requested, On hold, Approved, Sent and Paid out; a payout can also show Failed, Returned or Declined.

Edge cases

  • Declined, failed or returned payouts: the money goes back to your balance. The Payout page shows the reason next to a failed payout when there is one.
  • Early payouts can be limited while the program is in pilot. Payouts run on a monthly cycle.
  • Payout timing: once sent, the payment goes to the bank account you chose, and your bank can take a few more days to show it. LiveRec does not state a fixed number of days.
  • Each payout is approved by LiveRec before it is sent.
