Understanding Instant Payouts and Affiliate Commissions
Understanding Instant Payouts and Affiliate Commissions
Updated over 3 months ago

At Beacons, we strive to provide a seamless payment experience for our users. Whether you're making direct sales or earning commissions through affiliate marketing, we’ve designed our payment system to be fast and efficient. Below, we’ll walk you through two key features of our payment system: Instant Payouts for direct sales and Affiliate Commission payouts.

Instant Payments for Direct Sales

Instant payments are available for direct sales you make through our platform. When you make a sale, the proceeds are immediately available in your connected Stripe or PayPal account. This means that you can access your funds instantly, without the usual delays that come with traditional payment processing.

Key Features:

  • Instant Availability: Funds from direct sales are transferred immediately to your linked Stripe or PayPal account.

  • No Waiting Period: Unlike many other services, you won’t experience waiting periods for your direct sale payouts.


Affiliate Commissions: Fast Payouts with Flexibility

Affiliate commissions are equally fast but with a slight distinction in how they're handled. Affiliate commissions are available for cash out instantly at the time of the sale. As soon as a sale is made, you can hit "cash out" to initiate your payment. This provides you with more flexibility compared to other platforms, which often have delays or a 10 to 30-day hold on commission payments.

Key Features:

  • Instant Availability: Affiliate commissions can be cashed out immediately after a sale, giving you faster access to your earnings than many other services.

  • Cash Out Flexibility: Unlike other services, you have the ability to cash out as soon as the sale is made in your Payouts tab.

Processing Time:

While you can initiate your payout instantly, please note that the funds may not be instantly deposited into your PayPal account. We aim to process and send commission payments within 3-5 business days. This gives us time to ensure everything is processed accurately and securely.

Recap:

  • Direct Sales: Instant availability in your connected Stripe or PayPal account.

  • Affiliate Commissions: Cash out as soon as the sale occurs, with payouts processed within 3-5 business days.

Why Is There a 3-5 Day Processing Window?

We aim to provide quick and efficient payments, but certain factors like transaction reviews and banking procedures may cause a slight delay. While you can access your commissions immediately and initiate the payout, the actual transfer to your PayPal account may take a few business days to complete.

Rest assured, we’re working hard to process your payouts as quickly as possible.
