How often are Amazon affiliate payments made?
Amazon affiliate payments are made monthly, but there is a 60-day delay from the end of the month in which the earnings are generated. Here’s how the payment timeline works:
- Earnings Month: If you make sales in January, those earnings are accumulated during the month.
- Payment Processing: Amazon processes payments approximately 60 days after the end of the month. For example:
- Earnings from January are paid in March.
- Earnings from February are paid in April.
- Earnings from March are paid in May, and so on.
- Payment Date: Payments are typically issued at the end of the month after the 60-day processing period. For example, if you reached the payout threshold by the end of January, you would receive payment by the end of March.
Key Points to Remember:
- Payment Threshold: You must meet the minimum payment threshold for your chosen payment method (e.g., $10 for Amazon gift cards, $100 for direct deposit or checks).
- Payment Method: Payments are made through your selected payment method—either direct deposit, Amazon gift cards, checks, or Payoneer.
- Payment Delays: Even though Amazon processes payments monthly, the 60-day delay means you will not receive the payment until about two months after the earnings occur.
In summary, Amazon pays affiliates monthly, but with a 60-day delay, so expect to receive payments around the end of the month following the 60-day window after your earnings are made.
