When and how are partner commissions paid?
On the 1st of each month (UTC), your commission for the month just ended is worked out from your referrals' live subscriptions and written to your Partner Program card as pending. We send that money to the address in PayPal email for payouts on the same card, and the entry then changes to paid. Put your address in before your first month lands.
Tell us where to send it
- Open Settings in the sidebar and scroll to the Partner Program card.
- Under the figures (and under the payout history, once you have one), type your PayPal address into PayPal email for payouts.
- Click Save. The button reads Saving…, then a purple line confirms Payout email saved ✓.
The card says it under the box: commissions are paid to that address, and leaving it empty means we have no way to send your money. Saving an empty box is allowed and clears the address, and the line then reads Payout email cleared. If what you typed is not a complete email address, the save is refused with That does not look like a real email address. Check for a missing dot or a stray space and save again.
Telling us once is enough. The same address is used for every month that follows until you change it.
When the money moves
- From about 12:00 UTC on the 1st, open Settings and look at the payout history under the figures on the Partner Program card. The entry is written during the 1st, so if it is not there yet, check again later that day.
- A month that has not been sent yet shows its amount with pending next to it in amber.
- We send the money to your payout address and mark the month paid, and it turns green on your card.
If PayPal does not work for you, or a month has been pending for a while, email help@legiit.com from the address you sign in with and we will sort it out from there.
Only the account owner can set the address
Commission money follows the same rule as every other payment destination in Legiit Leads. A team seat that tries to save the field is refused with Payouts are managed by the account owner. A seat set to Outreach only is refused earlier still, with Your seat is set to outreach only. Ask the account owner to change it. Sign in as the account owner to put the address in.
What gets an entry
- Entries are written on the 1st, for the previous month, and only when your commission for that month was above zero.
- Each month gets one entry. It is a snapshot of your referrals as they stood when the calculation ran, so a referral who had already cancelled is not in it.
- The card shows up to the last 6 months.
Good to know
Payouts are made monthly after review. Refunded and charged back payments do not earn commission. A month is reviewed before it is paid, and a month that should not be paid is cancelled rather than reduced: its entry stays on the card marked void instead of paid.
The Get Paid card in Settings connects Stripe so you can charge your own clients. Your partner commission does not arrive through it.
