PAYMENT PROCESS


  1. Currency: For Fees purposes, any Affiliate Sales Revenue paid in a currency other than U.S. Dollars is automatically converted to the applicable value in U.S. Dollars. The Services will continue to display Affiliate Sales Revenue in the transaction currency for all other purposes, such as calculating Affiliate commission amounts.
  2. Commission Calculation
  • Monthly Recurring Revenue: Affiliate commissions are calculated based on the monthly or yearly subscription payments made by merchants (referred clients) who continue using the app after the free trial period. The subscription price will first be adjusted to exclude the Shopify fee (typically 20% of the subscription price).
  • Adjustments for Plan Changes: Commissions will be adjusted based on changes in the customer’s app package (such as upgrades or downgrades). The adjusted commission reflects the customer’s new plan rate after deducting the Shopify fee.
  • Annual Subscriptions (Yearly Plans): For customers on annual subscriptions, the total commission will be divided into 12 equal parts, and one part will be paid each month throughout the subscription period.
  • Refunds: If a referred customer requests a refund, a negative commission will be applied to reflect the adjustment. Any overpaid commission may be deducted from future earnings.
  1. Payment Schedule
  • Balance Updates: Affiliates can log in on the 8th of each month to review their updated balance.
  • Payment Date: Payments are issued on the 12th of each month (for Affiliates who have confirmed a payment method), provided that the minimum balance requirement has been met.
  1. Payment Approved Methods
  • PayPal: Affiliates will receive an email prompting them to provide or confirm their PayPal account details. Please ensure that your PayPal account is up to date within your Customix profile. If any changes to your PayPal account are needed, you may update this information directly on your Partner Dashboard.

Note: Customix only processes payments to the registered PayPal account provided by the Affiliate. It is your responsibility to keep this information updated to ensure timely and accurate payments. Customix is not responsible for delays due to outdated information.

  1. Payment Process
  • Commission Review: Commissions are reviewed and calculated by Customix on the 8th of each month for the previous month’s referrals and customer payments.
  • Minimum Balance Requirement: The minimum balance for payout is $100. If your balance does not reach this threshold, the amount will roll over to the next pay period.
  • Initial Payment Confirmation Request: Upon reaching the payout threshold of $100, Affiliates will receive an email from Customix confirming their preferred payment method. The email (e.g., “Congratulations on Your First Customix Partner Payout”) will outline the current balance and request confirmation of the PayPal email address on file. Affiliates need to confirm their payment details only once, unless they update them in the future.
  • Follow-up Reminder (If No Response): If no response is received within a month, Customix will send a reminder email to confirm the payment method.
  • Payment Confirmation: Upon processing the payment, Customix will send a confirmation email to Affiliates on the 12th of the month, including payment details and any applicable fees or adjustments for that period.
  1. Commission Adjustments and Refunds
  • Plan Upgrades/Downgrades: If a customer changes their subscription plan, your commission will be adjusted to reflect the updated rate.
  • Customer Refunds: If a referred customer receives a refund, your commission for that period will be recalculated, and any overpaid amounts may be deducted from future earnings.
  1. Tracking and Reporting
  • Cookie Duration: The tracking cookie from the referral link lasts for 30 days. After 30 days, any activity from that link may no longer be recorded.
  • Affiliate Dashboard: Affiliates can track referral activity, payouts, and commission adjustments in real-time via their Customix Partner Dashboard.
  1. Payment of Fees

Customix will not be required to refund any Fees except in the event of Customix’s fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
