# Affiliate Portal - Payouts

The **Payouts** section helps affiliates track when and how they get paid.

***

The **Payouts** page lets affiliates track when and how they get paid for their commissions.

It provides clear visibility into **payout status, payment method, and payment history**, so affiliates always know where their earnings stand.

***

### 📋 Payout List Overview

On this page, affiliates can see a list of their payouts with key information:

* **Payout ID** – unique identifier for each payout
* **Status** – shows whether the payout is:
  * Paid
  * Pending (if not yet completed)
* **Amount** – total commission paid
* **Date created** – when the payout was processed

This list helps affiliates quickly confirm if a payment has been completed.

Affiliates can click the **details icon** on the right side of a payout to view full payout information.

The payout detail includes:

* **Payout status** (e.g. Paid)
* **Affiliate name & email**
* **Payment method** (for example: PayPal)
* **Date and time** the payout was created
* **Total amount paid**

This gives affiliates a clear record for tracking and personal accounting.

***

### 💳 Payment Method Transparency

The payout detail clearly shows which payment method was used (such as PayPal).

This helps affiliates:

* Confirm they were paid using the expected method
* Match payouts with their external payment account
* Avoid confusion or disputes about payments

***

### ✅ What Affiliates Should Know

* Payouts are processed by the merchant, not automatically
* Once a payout is completed, it will appear as **Paid**
* Affiliates can always review past payouts from this page
* Payout details cannot be edited by affiliates (read-only for transparency)
