Payouts

Who this is for: Partner — the list is readable by every teammate (affiliates.commission.read); scheduling and settling need affiliates.payout.manage, which only a partner owner holds. Where: Partner portal → Payouts

A payout is the money side of a statement: the commission that statement computed, dated, and tracked from scheduled to paid. One statement, one payout.

重要

Nerve records payouts; it does not move money and holds no bank details. There is no account number, sort code or IBAN anywhere in the portal, and nothing here initiates a transfer. What this screen gives you is an agreed amount, an agreed date, and a shared record of whether it has happened — the transfer itself is made however you and Nerve already arrange payment.

Schedule a payout#

1. Open the Open statement… list and choose the statement to pay. It shows each open statement's period and its commission total.
2. Set the date the payment is due.
3. Select Schedule.

The list offers open statements only — one that has already been paid out is not there to pick twice.

The payout is created for the statement's full commission total; there is no amount field, because a payout that quietly differed from the statement it settles would defeat the point of snapshotting the statement.

Scheduling also finalises the statement as paid. That is what takes it out of the picker above and stops it being paid a second time.

Scheduled, not sent. The badge is the state of the agreement, and the button is how it moves.

注意

A statement can carry one live payout, and only one. Scheduling a second against the same statement is refused as a conflict rather than queued. If a payout is wrong, it is the statement that has to be re-cut — see reconciling for the case where billing has drifted underneath one.

Mark a payout paid#

Once the transfer has actually been made, record it:

1. Find the payout in the list.
2. Select Mark paid.

The badge changes to paid and the button goes away — settling is one-way, and a payout that has been marked paid cannot be reopened.

Do this when the money has moved, not when you have instructed it. The list is the record both sides read, so a payout marked paid that has not arrived is worse than one still showing as scheduled.

Read the list#

Badge	Meaning
scheduled	agreed and dated; the transfer has not been recorded yet
paid	recorded as settled, with the date it was marked
cancelled	called off. Nothing in the portal sets this state — a payout you schedule is either scheduled or paid

Payouts are listed newest first, and every one names the amount and the date it was scheduled for. A partner whose standing is suspended can still read this list; scheduling and settling are refused until the suspension is lifted.

• Your team — who else can schedule a payout, and how to change that.
