What is affiliate payment eligibility?

This flag determines how an affiliate will be paid. It can be set by a Manager in the Back-Office at Admin> Affiliate Dashboard> Profile> Payment Profile tab:

The system offers three different Payment Eligibility options for affiliates. The selected eligibility type determines how the affiliate's commission will be handled during the regular monthly payment processing cycle.

• Eligible - According to Threshold 

Under this setting, the affiliate will only be paid when their payable balance exceeds the minimum payment threshold configured for their selected payment method. 
If the threshold is not reached, the commission remains in the affiliate's carried balance and is carried forward to the next payment cycle.

• Eligible – Always Force a Payment

Under this setting, the affiliate will be paid regardless of:

• The amount available for payment
• Whether the minimum payment threshold has been reached
• Whether a payment method has been selected

This option is typically used when a manager wants to clear an affiliate's outstanding balance or ensure that a payment is made regardless of the normal payment conditions.

• Ineligible – Do Not Pay

Under this setting, the affiliate will not receive any payments through the payment processing cycle.
Any generated commission will remain on the affiliate account and will not be included in payment runs until the payment eligibility status is changed to an eligible option.
