Getting paid
Paid out Monthly (Commission is calculated on the first day of each month and paid by the 15th. The agreement sets payment by the end of the month following the guest's departure for merchant bookings, and 60 days after that month end for agency bookings.) Monthly (Bolt says commission arrives the month after a referred company becomes a paying customer, once the 60-day qualifying window has closed.) Monthly (Paid on the 10th day of the following month.) Monthly (Invoices are generated from the second working day of the month; payment processing should conclude by the tenth working day. GetYourGuide advises not to change payment details between the last days of a month and the tenth of the next.) — Monthly (PartnerStack verifies and releases commissions the month after they are earned. Navan itself publishes no schedule.) Monthly (Activity is reported monthly, but the transfer only lands 30 to 60 days after Omio approves the invoice. Balances under the threshold roll into the following month.)
Minimum payout $200 (Balances below the threshold roll forward until they reach it.) Bolt publishes no threshold of its own. Whatever minimum applies is the one set on your PartnerStack account. $200 (Stated in USD. Commission can only be invoiced once the balance passes this figure and the trip has been completed.) ✔ $55 (Bank transfer only: GetYourGuide states a threshold of EUR 50 (roughly $55 USD) or the local currency equivalent. PayPal has no threshold at all, so PayPal partners are paid monthly on any balance.) — — $110 (Omio states the threshold as EUR 100; roughly USD 110 at recent rates.)
