This guide provides an in-depth overview of how payouts are managed, ensuring transparency and clarity.
- Bi-Monthly Payouts: Lemon Squeezy processes affiliate payouts twice a month, on the 1st and 15th. These payouts include all approved referrals since the last payout cycle. https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/affiliates/payouts
- Holding Period: Referral commissions are subject to a 30-day holding period before they become eligible for payout. This period accounts for potential refunds or chargebacks, ensuring that only finalized transactions are paid out. https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/affiliates/payouts
- Payout Execution: Once the holding period elapses, payouts are disbursed on the 14th and 28th of each month. https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/affiliates/payouts
