When you earn a commission as a Whop affiliate, the sale does not become available for payout immediately. Instead, there is a 30-day waiting period between the time your referred customer makes their purchase and when you receive your commission.
Why Is There a Waiting Period?
The 30-day delay is in place to:
Protect the business from potential chargebacks, disputes, or refunds.
Ensure all sales are valid and finalized before payouts are processed.
Maintain a fair and reliable system for both affiliates and businesses.
Example Timeline
Day 1: A customer signs up using your affiliate link.
Day 1–30: The sale is marked as pending while the waiting period is active.
Day 31: If no refund or dispute has occurred, your commission becomes available.
Key Takeaway
Your affiliate commissions are always tracked right away when a customer purchases through your link. However, they only move from “pending” to “available” after the 30-day waiting period is complete.
If you have additional questions about affiliate payouts, you can contact Whop Support through their Help Center.
