# Payouts and Payment Methods

You've earned your commissions — now let's talk about how you get paid.

---

## How Payouts Work

Payouts are **processed manually by the ALIVE team on a monthly basis**. Here's how it works:

1. **Commissions accumulate** throughout the month as your referrals make subscription payments
2. **End of month** — Your total commissions for the month are calculated
3. **Payout processing** — The ALIVE team processes payouts manually during the following month
4. **You get paid** — Funds are sent to you once the payout is processed

## No Minimum Threshold

Unlike many affiliate programs, ALIVE has **no minimum payout threshold**. Whether you earned $5 or $5,000 in a given month, you'll receive your full payout.

No waiting around until you hit some arbitrary number. You earned it, you get it.

| This is a big deal. Many affiliate programs require you to accumulate $50 or even $100 before they'll pay you. With ALIVE, every dollar you earn gets sent to you.

## Payout Statuses

In your affiliate dashboard, each payout has a status:

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Pending** | Commission has been earned but not yet paid out. It will be included in the next payout. |
| **Paid** | Commission has been processed and sent to you. |

You can see your pending and paid totals on the summary cards at the top of your affiliate dashboard, and review individual payouts in the payouts table below.
