Payout Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Payout Policy explains how Influencemart ("the Platform", "we", "us") pays out the commissions you earn as an affiliate. It describes when earnings become eligible for payout, the minimum you need to accumulate, the methods we settle to, the identity and tax information we may require, and how we handle holds, fraud review, and disputes. It should be read together with our Affiliate Terms, Trust & Safety commitments, and Privacy Policy. As the operator of this service, Influencemart is responsible for the payout process described below.

Before reading the specifics, it helps to understand the journey a commission takes — from pending when an order is first attributed to you, through hold while the return window runs, to approved, payable, and finally paid. Only earnings that have reached the payable state can be included in a payout. Our How it works page and your affiliate dashboard show exactly where each commission sits at any time.

Minimum payout

You can request a payout once your payable balance reaches the configured minimum payout threshold. The minimum exists to keep transfer costs proportionate and to batch settlements efficiently — paying out very small amounts would often cost more in transaction fees than the payout itself.

• What counts toward the minimum — only commissions in the payable state count. Earnings that are still pending, on hold, or under review do not contribute to your eligible balance until they clear.
• Carry-over — if your payable balance is below the minimum at the end of a cycle, it simply carries forward and is combined with future earnings until the threshold is met.
• Where the figure is shown — the exact minimum amount is a platform setting and may change over time. The current threshold, in NPR, is always displayed in your affiliate dashboard before you submit a payout request.

Payout cycle

Payouts run on a regular cycle rather than instantly, so that commissions can clear their hold periods and pass integrity checks before money leaves the Platform. The general flow is:

• Accrual — as orders are verified and holds expire, eligible commissions move into your payable balance throughout the period.
• Cut-off — at the end of each cycle, payable balances that meet the minimum are gathered into a payout batch. Earnings that clear after the cut-off are included in the following cycle.
• Processing — approved batches are settled to your chosen payout method. Once we send a payout, the time for funds to reach you depends on the method and the receiving bank or wallet, and is outside our direct control.

The length of the cycle, the cut-off date, and any minimum gap between payout requests are platform settings. Your dashboard shows the next scheduled payout date and the status of any request you have submitted.

Supported payout methods

We aim to settle through the channels affiliates in Nepal use most. Depending on platform configuration, supported methods include: Bank transfer, eSewa, Khalti, IME Pay, ConnectIPS, Manual payout.

• Bank transfer
• eSewa
• Khalti
• IME Pay
• ConnectIPS
• Manual payout

You select and verify a payout method in your dashboard, and you are responsible for keeping those details accurate. Payouts sent to incorrect, outdated, or mismatched account details — for example a wallet number that does not match your verified identity — may be delayed, returned, or fail entirely, and any third-party fees arising from corrections may be deducted from the re-sent payout. Which specific methods are enabled, and any per-method limits, are shown when you set up or change your payout method.

KYC and PAN requirements

To pay you safely and in line with applicable regulation, we may require identity and tax information before releasing a payout. This is a one-time setup for most affiliates and helps prevent payouts to fraudulent or impersonated accounts.

• Know Your Customer (KYC) — we may ask you to confirm your legal name, contact details, and the ownership of the payout account you have chosen, and to provide supporting identification where required.
• PAN — depending on platform settings, a valid Permanent Account Number (PAN) may be required before your first payout, particularly where tax reporting applies. Adding your PAN and KYC details early keeps your payouts from being held up at cut-off.
• Accuracy and matching — the name on your verified identity should match the account that receives the payout. Mismatches can trigger additional review or cause a transfer to be returned.

We handle this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and retain it only as long as necessary to operate payouts and meet legal obligations.

TDS and tax handling

Where the Platform is configured to apply tax withholding, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) may be withheld from your payout in accordance with applicable law in Nepal. Where this applies:

• How it is shown — your payout statement separates the gross commission, any TDS withheld, and the net amount actually transferred to you, so the calculation is transparent.
• Rate — the applicable TDS percentage is a platform setting that reflects current tax rules and may depend on whether you have provided a valid PAN. The effective rate used for your payout is displayed in your dashboard and on your payout statement.
• Your responsibilities — you remain responsible for your own overall tax position, including any returns or filings required of you. We do not provide tax advice, and amounts we withhold do not necessarily represent your total tax liability.

If tax withholding is not enabled for your account, payouts are settled at the gross payable amount, less only any unavoidable transfer fees. Either way, the breakdown that applies to you is always visible before and after each payout.

Payout hold and escrow

Commissions do not become payable the instant an order is placed. To protect both affiliates and merchants, earnings pass through a hold period and are effectively held in escrow until they clear.

• Return and refund window — after an order is confirmed, the related commission stays on hold for the merchant's return/refund window. If the order is returned, cancelled, or refunded during this window, the commission is reversed rather than paid.
• Escrow of payable funds — even after the hold clears, eligible earnings are only released through the regular payout cycle and approval checks, not on demand, which keeps the ledger reconciled and reversible commissions out of settled payouts.
• Additional holds — a payout, or specific commissions within it, may be held longer where verification is incomplete (for example missing KYC/PAN) or where activity is flagged for review under the next section.

The applicable hold length is set per campaign by the merchant and is shown alongside your commissions in the dashboard, so you can see when an amount is expected to become payable.

Fraud review

Genuine traffic is the foundation of the network. Before earnings are paid, and on an ongoing basis, we run integrity checks to ensure that the conversions behind a payout are real. Activity may be placed under fraud review when our systems or merchant signals indicate a problem.

• What we look for — fake or bot clicks, self-referrals, duplicate or manipulated conversions, coupon and incentive misuse, and other patterns that violate our policies. Our Trust & Safety page explains these protections in more detail.
• Effect on payouts — affected commissions can be moved back to hold, excluded from the current payout batch, or reversed if the underlying orders are found to be invalid. A payout may be paused while a review is completed.
• Cooperation — we may ask you for information to help resolve a review. Providing accurate, timely responses is the fastest way to release legitimately earned funds.

Reviews are intended to protect honest affiliates as much as merchants — confirmed fraud distorts everyone's earnings, so we resolve flags as promptly as the available evidence allows.

Rejection and dispute

A payout request, or individual commissions within it, may be rejected where the underlying orders are not valid or the request does not meet policy. Common reasons include:

• Reversed commissions — the related order was cancelled, returned, refunded, or failed verification, so the commission was reversed before settlement.
• Unmet requirements — the payable balance is below the minimum, required KYC/PAN details are missing, or the payout method could not be verified.
• Policy or fraud findings — the activity behind the earnings breached our Affiliate Terms or fraud rules.

When a payout or commission is rejected, the reason is recorded against it in your dashboard. Valid earnings that were merely caught up in a wider review are returned to your payable balance and included in a future cycle once cleared.

If you believe a rejection or reversal is mistaken, you can raise a dispute. To do so, contact us through our contact page with the relevant commission or payout reference, the date, and a description of the issue. We will review the event ledger and the evidence available, respond within a reasonable period, and correct any genuine error — for example by re-instating a wrongly reversed commission or re-issuing a returned transfer. Our decision following a good-faith review, based on the recorded data, is final for the matter in question, without prejudice to your rights under applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Payout Policy as the Platform evolves or as legal and tax requirements change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the site or by email where appropriate, and the configured figures — such as the minimum payout, cycle, and any TDS rate — always remain visible in your dashboard. Continued use of the service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Not legal advice

This summary is provided for transparency and is not a substitute for professional legal or tax advice. It describes our current payout practices in plain language and does not create contractual obligations beyond those in our applicable terms. The exact figures — including the minimum payout amount and any TDS percentage — are configured by the Platform and shown in your affiliate dashboard. If you need advice about your own situation, please consult a qualified professional.
