Why does PartnerStack charge a fee on partner payouts?

PartnerStack charges a percentage (known as a PartnerStack fee) on your partner commission invoice total so that we can scale our support for your program as it grows, and share a mutually aligned incentive in getting new partners into their program via our Marketplace. If you're curious about what your PartnerStack fee is, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or email support@partnerstack.com.

My partner can't log into their PartnerStack account

Provide the partner with our How to login and how to reset my password support guide and encourage them to reset their password.

If the partner has further difficulty or questions, have them reach out to support@partnerstack.com and we'd be happy to help.

Potential partner login issues:

  • Partners that have Google-authenticated accounts must enable 3rd party cookies in their browser before clicking "Sign in with Google"
  • If a partner has attempted to log in more than 6 times in a row, their account will automatically lock as a security precaution

My partner has questions about using their dashboard

How do I see what that looks like, so I can help them navigate?

Being able to walk your partners through their own Dashboard is important. You can see the below two guides which overview the partner side of PartnerStack. You can also share these links with them if they want more information!

How do partner payouts work? 

Your partners earn comissions between the first and last day of the month. Commissions are available to withdraw the following month, on the 13th. Your partner commission invoice must be paid by the 8th of each month to ensure your partners are paid by the 13th. Any delays should be communicated to your partners through the Messaging tab to keep partners informed.

Example schedule:

  • March 1st - March 31st: Partner earns commissions
  • April 1st: Partner commission invoice sent to the company for review
  • April 1st - April 7th: You have 7 days to review the invoice, and make any necessary changes
  • April 8th: Partner commission invoice is charged
  • April 8th-12th: Creditcard payments are processed when the invoice is charged. ACH payments are processed over 5 days by Stripe and your bank
  • April 8-13th: Commissions are available for partners to withdraw depending on your payment method, and invoice charge date

See Paying your partner commissions and Partner commission invoices for more details.

How can I update my partner commission invoice payment information?

Your payment information can be updated from your Settings > Billings tab. For more information and step-by-step instructions to add either a credit card or ACH as your payment method see the Adding and updating your billing information support guide.
