How and when do affiliates get paid?

PostSnag pays affiliates on a monthly schedule through Anderro, once your commissions have cleared a refund hold period and your payable balance reaches the $30 minimum.

Anderro handles the actual payment using the same commission data it tracks from your referral link, so there's nothing separate to set up on PostSnag's side. Here's exactly how the schedule, the minimum, and the hold period fit together.

Payout schedule: monthly

Anderro runs payouts on a monthly cycle. Commissions you earn during a period aren't paid out the instant someone subscribes: they're queued, checked against the hold period below, and released on the monthly schedule once they qualify. If a commission clears the hold partway through a cycle, it goes out with the next scheduled payout rather than immediately.

Minimum payout: $30

Anderro releases a payout once your payable balance, meaning commissions that have already cleared the hold period, reaches at least $30.

• If you're under $30 at the end of a cycle, nothing is paid out that month. Your balance carries into the next cycle.

• Your balance never resets or expires. A small balance from month one still counts toward month two, three, or however long it takes to cross $30.

• Only payable commissions count toward the minimum, not commissions still sitting in the hold period. A $25 payable balance plus $20 still pending doesn't clear the $30 threshold until that pending amount clears too.

The refund hold period

New commissions aren't payable the moment a referral subscribes. Anderro holds each new commission first, so the sale has time to fully settle before it counts toward your payout. This protects against two things: a customer using PostSnag's 14-day money-back guarantee on their first payment, and payment disputes or chargebacks.

This hold isn't a fixed number of days for every sale. It can run anywhere from about a week to as long as 90 days, depending on the sale. Once a commission clears the hold, it moves from pending into your payable balance and starts counting toward the $30 minimum.

A payout in practice

Here's what the path from click to payment typically looks like:

1. Someone clicks your PostSnag affiliate link and subscribes to Pro a few days later.

2. That subscription generates a commission, about $5.70 for a Pro referral, which appears in your Anderro dashboard as pending.

3. The commission sits in the hold period while the sale settles.

4. Once it clears, it moves into your payable balance.

5. If your total payable balance is at least $30 by the next monthly payout date, it goes out in that cycle. If it's still under $30, it carries forward and stacks with whatever clears next.

Where to track your earnings

Your Anderro dashboard is the single place to check everything: which commissions are still pending in the hold period, which have cleared and are payable, your running balance against the $30 minimum, and your payout history. Check it any time rather than waiting for a payout to see how a referral performed.

Common questions

Do I get paid as soon as someone subscribes through my link?
No. The commission goes through a refund hold period first, then gets included in your next monthly payout once it has cleared and your total payable balance is at or above $30.

What happens if I don't hit $30 in a given month?
Your balance carries over to the next month automatically. Unpaid commissions don't expire or reset.

Why does PostSnag hold new commissions before paying out?
So a sale has time to fully clear before it counts as payable, covering PostSnag's 14-day money-back guarantee window and protecting against chargebacks. This kind of hold is standard on affiliate platforms generally, not something specific to PostSnag.

How long does the hold period actually take?
It varies by sale. Anderro's hold can run anywhere from about a week to up to 90 days before a commission becomes payable.

Where do I see how much I've earned?
In your Anderro dashboard, which breaks out pending commissions still in the hold period, payable commissions counting toward your $30 minimum, and commissions already paid out.
