How getting paid as an affiliate on WarriorPlus works...

Updated over a week ago

As an affiliate on WarriorPlus, you can receive commissions on products that you promote. There are a few different ways commissions are paid, as explained below.

1. PayPal Plus

PayPal Plus is a WarriorPlus feature that allows vendors to make sales and affiliates to collect commissions easier and more securely than ever before. All sales made with PayPal Plus automatically deposit the commissions into the Affiliate and JV Partner wallets. (Vendors immediately receive their portion of the funds direct into their PayPal account.)

You can view your wallet and pending commissions here: https://warriorplus.com/account/wallet 

NOTE: All commissions are received INSTANTLY by the affiliate, however, they are sent to the W+ wallet. Commission payouts to affiliates and JV partners are delayed, generally for between 7 and 30 days. This is because the payment method does not make the funds immediately available, and it also helps us to prevent issues with fraud, have funds available for refunds and/or chargebacks that could occur, etc.

2. Stripe

All sales made via Stripe also automatically deposit the commissions into the Affiliate and JV Partner wallets. (Vendors immediately receive their portion of the funds direct into their Stripe account.)

You can view your wallet and pending commissions here: https://warriorplus.com/account/wallet

NOTE: All commissions are received INSTANTLY by the affiliate, however, they are sent to the W+ wallet. Commission payouts to affiliates and JV partners are delayed, generally for between 7 and 30 days. This is because the payment method does not make the funds immediately available, and it also helps us to prevent issues with fraud, have funds available for refunds and/or chargebacks that could occur, etc.

3. New Affiliates OR Low Affiliate Score

All members of WarriorPlus who are involved in selling products (vendors and affiliates) are assigned an internal score that takes into account things like how new the account is, how many sales have been made, refunds, etc. This score is then used to calculate a delay on commissions, which is generally between 7 and 30 days after a sale is made.

As the score increases, the delay will also be reduced, until it reaches 0, at which times instant commissions can be paid according to the info above (when PayPal is used for payment).

In general, these delays ONLY apply to affiliates and/or JV partners -- vendors still receive their portion of their sales immediately to the payment account used to receive funds in the transaction. (There may be very limited circumstances where a vendor is subject to delay as well, generally when there is concern of fraudulent sales.)

At any time, a member can get information on their delayed commissions, balances, and release dates by visiting the 'Pending Earnings' section in their account. This can be found here: https://warriorplus.com/account/wallet/earnings-list 

Or, by clicking on your username in the upper-right hand corner of WarriorPlus.com and then selecting "W+ Wallet" from the dropdown menu. Then click on "Pending Earnings."

INSTANT PAYPAL COMMISSIONS Instant Paypal Commissions (PayPal Adaptive API)

Affiliates can receive their commissions instantly, directly to their PayPal account, via what is known as PayPal's Adaptive Payments system.

In this case, when a sale is made, the commission due to those who are part of the transaction -- the affiliate and/or JV partners -- is calculated and immediately paid to the PayPal accounts of everyone involved.

NOTE: In order for affiliates to receive instant commissions, the vendor must be using the old PayPal Adaptive API (not recommended) and approve the individual affiliate for INSTANT commissions, or they will be on 'delayed' by default.

WITHDRAWING FUNDS FROM YOUR AVAILABLE BALANCE

When earnings are eligible for withdrawal, they can be withdrawn via PayPal or Stripe.

FEES

There are WarriorPlus fees and payment processing fees (Paypal, Stripe, etc) that apply to all product purchases. All fees are paid by the vendor/seller of a product.

NOTE: On products that offer 100% commission, the fees are still paid by the seller, but will affect the remaining amount to be paid as commission.

EXAMPLE: If you promote a product that is $1 and offers 100% commission -- after the vendor pays WarriorPlus and PayPal fees, there will be LESS than $1 left over for your commission.

Payment processor fees may vary based on the vendor's relationship with the payment processor, but you can see our current fee schedule here: http://help.warriorplus.com/en/articles/2772140-warriorplus-fee-schedule
