Invoice Collection & Validation
Partner payouts are based on collected revenue, not simply invoiced amounts. This document explains how invoice collection and validation affect your payout calculations.
Invoices Must Be Paid
When a Child Organization receives an invoice, that invoice must be successfully paid before revenue from that invoice is included in your payout calculations.
If an invoice remains unpaid, fails payment, or is later refunded, it does not qualify as collected revenue for payout purposes.
Validation of Collected Revenue
The system automatically validates whether revenue has been successfully collected before applying your Partner payout percentage.
This ensures that payouts are only calculated on completed, settled transactions.
Failed or Reversed Payments
If a payment fails or is later reversed:
- The associated revenue is excluded from payout calculations.
- Previously accrued earnings tied to that revenue may be adjusted.
These adjustments occur automatically and help maintain accurate payout balances.
Timing Considerations
Because payouts are based on collected revenue, there may be a short delay between when a Child Organization is invoiced and when that revenue becomes eligible for payout.
This delay depends on invoice generation timing, payment processing, and settlement confirmation.
Why This Model Is Used
Basing payouts on collected revenue ensures fairness and sustainability within the Partner Program. It prevents payouts from being issued on invoices that were never successfully paid.
All validation and adjustments are handled automatically, and your Partner Dashboard reflects updated accrual totals as revenue is collected and confirmed.
