How PayVenia works
One payment in, three rails out. Here is each step, with nothing hidden in the middle.
A vendor lists a product
Price in USD, and the commission an affiliate earns on it. Before saving, the vendor sees the exact net they keep on every sale — platform fee and commission already taken out.
An affiliate takes a link
One tracked link per product. Clicks are counted, and a 30-day cookie carries the attribution to checkout. A sale that arrives without one can be attached to an affiliate by the vendor; moving a commission between affiliates is admin-only.
A buyer pays
The payment is split the moment it lands: 7.5% + $1.00 to the platform, the commission to the affiliate, the rest to the vendor. The three parts always add back up to exactly what the buyer paid.
The reserve is held
20% of each side's own share is held for 60 days, so refunds and chargebacks have something to come out of. It matures on its own — nothing to request and nobody to remind.
Payouts run on a calendar
The 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, moved to the next business day when they land on a weekend or a US bank holiday. Everyone picks weekly, biweekly or monthly, with a $50.00 threshold. Every run is approved by hand before money moves.
What a refund does
The buyer is made whole — always, and for the whole amount. The affiliate gives back its share of the commission, and the vendor funds the rest. A refunded sale is worth nothing to anybody, which is the point: everyone here is paid for sales that stick.
