The “payment threshold” is the minimum amount of earnings or commission that an affiliate or publisher must accumulate before being eligible to receive a payment from an affiliate program or advertising network. It serves as a requirement to ensure that the payment process is efficient and cost-effective for both the affiliate and the program.
For example, if an affiliate program has a payment threshold of $50, the affiliate will receive a payout once their earnings reach or exceed that amount. If the earnings fall below the specified threshold, the affiliate may need to wait until they accumulate enough commissions to meet the threshold before receiving a payment.
Payment thresholds vary among affiliate programs and advertising networks, and affiliates should be aware of the specific terms and conditions set by each program they participate in.
