Affiliate Sales Statuses
Pending: Commissions are initially marked as "Pending." This means you can't cash out yet. The "Pending" status occurs because commissions are subject to a waiting period for the brand returns and cancellations window.
The typical pending period is 30 – 90 days, but it can vary depending on the brand.
Locked: Once your commission is confirmed, it will appear as "Locked." This means the brand has confirmed the commission, and the return window has passed. You can now cash out your commission.
4. Cashing Out
To cash out your affilaite commission, visit the payouts tab.
Click Cash Out in the Affiliate Commission box.
Your commission will be sent to your PayPal account.
