Monthly Minimum Revenue vs. Payout Amounts

Why doesn’t my payout always equal the monthly minimum?

Because monthly minimum revenue and payouts are calculated on different timelines.

• The monthly minimum is calculated per calendar month.
• Payouts are created based on a payout schedule, not calendar months.

As a result, a single payout may be higher or lower than the monthly minimum, even though the minimum is always met for the full month.

What is the monthly minimum revenue?

The monthly minimum revenue is a rule that guarantees a minimum amount of revenue per calendar month.

Key points:

• It always runs from the 1st to the last day of the month
• The counter resets automatically at midnight on the 1st
• All transactions within that calendar month count toward the minimum

Example:

If a distributor charges a customer $280 per month, the system ensures that transactions from October 1 through October 31 total at least $280.

This rule is independent of payout timing.

How do payouts work?

Payouts can be configured as either:

• Weekly, paid on the same banking day each week, or
• Monthly, with a cutoff typically 3 to 5 days before the last banking day of the month

Because of banking and settlement requirements, a payout period does not represent a fixed or standard set of dates.

Why can a payout be higher or lower than the monthly minimum?

Because a payout period can include transactions from more than one calendar month.

Example:

A payout created at the end of October may include:

• Late September transactions that settled after the September payout
• Most October transactions up to the payout cutoff date

In this case:

• The October monthly minimum is calculated strictly on October 1 to October 31
• Some October transactions may be paid in this payout
• Some October transactions may be paid in the following payout

This causes individual payouts to fluctuate, even though the monthly minimum is still fulfilled correctly.
