Affiliate payouts and identity verification
A payout starts with an available balance, not with the total value of sales or recorded commissions. Prepare your own recipient details and complete the identity check through the panel. Registration and payout verification are different stages of participating as a promoter.
Prepare your own recipient details
Choose an IBAN or PayPal account in your name. Check the recipient name and the details you enter rather than borrowing someone else’s account to avoid a mismatch. Keep those details private and use the payout route in /affiliate. A creator does not need your identity documents to let you recommend her. Do not include banking details, document images or verification information in your public promotional page.
Complete the identity check once
HerFans requires a one time identity check before payout. Follow the instructions shown in the panel for the information requested, rather than guessing which documents or steps will apply. Registration with email and a code does not replace this check. If something needs correction, use the route provided with the verification process. Do not open additional promoter accounts or submit someone else’s identity to work around a problem.
Request a payout from available funds
Review the available balance and make sure the minimum of 50 USD is met. Pending commission and the additionally retained reserve are not a reason to assume the full recorded total can be paid. Read the amount and fee before requesting the payout, and keep your own record for later reconciliation. This guide does not set a delivery date or a reserve release schedule. Use the current information in the panel for your request.
Understand the commission base
A creator decides whether to enable her affiliate programme. She chooses a commission rate of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 percent of her own share of sales. HerFans takes a platform fee of 20 percent from a creator sale, so the affiliate percentage applies to the amount left for her, rather than the full amount paid by the fan. Check the creator offer before publishing a recommendation. A headline percentage alone does not tell a reader how the calculation works, and a higher rate does not establish that an audience will buy.
For a calculation example, a fan spends 10 USD. After the platform fee, the creator share is 8 USD. At a 30 percent affiliate rate, the commission is 8 × 0.30 = 2.40 USD. This is an arithmetic example, not an earnings promise. It also is not an immediately withdrawable payment. Commissions wait 60 days before becoming available, part is additionally held in a refund reserve, and a refund or chargeback reverses the related commission. Keep those distinctions in your own notes when comparing an offer or explaining the programme to someone else.
Separate recorded commission from a withdrawal
A recorded commission needs to wait 60 days before becoming available. A part is additionally retained in a reserve for refunds, so do not plan a withdrawal from the total recorded amount. A refund or chargeback reverses the associated commission. Read the available balance in /affiliate and keep a note of adjustments when reviewing your activity. A sale, an attributed fan and an available balance describe different things. None of them is a guarantee of future purchases. If you spend money promoting a link, those costs belong in your own budget even when a commission is still pending or a campaign produces no sales.
The minimum payout is 50 USD. You can receive it to an IBAN or PayPal account in your own name after a one time identity check. The payout fee is 1 USD plus 1 percent, deducted from the payout. For an arithmetic example only, not an earnings promise, a payout of 50 USD has a fee of 1 + 0.50 = 1.50 USD, leaving 48.50 USD after that fee. This example assumes the 50 USD is already available and does not bypass the waiting period or reserve. Prepare matching recipient details and use the verification route provided in the panel. Do not send identity documents to a creator or place them on a public promotional page.
