Partner commissions & payments
Keep partner money separate from rewards.
Review verified commissions, record real external payments and keep refund or return history. Your software subscription and partner payments are distinct.
See it in practice
Partner commissions & payments, made concrete.
Example: only $100 of the lifetime fee-free payout allowance remains. A completed $250 payout uses that $100; the $150 above it has a $3 Rise fee or $1.50 Summit fee. The partner still receives $250.

01
The first lifetime $10,000
Each business has a fee-free allowance on real completed cash affiliate payouts. It does not reset with a plan change or another location. Test payouts do not consume it.
02
Approved rates above the allowance
Rise charges 2% and Summit 1% on the portion above the allowance. Provider processing costs are separate and paid by the business. The partner receives the full commission principal.
03
Not a share of sales
These fees apply to completed cash affiliate payouts, not sales, stamps, points or noncash customer referral rewards. Spark is loyalty-only, with no cash affiliate access or payout fee.
04
Manual payment, honest records
Payment exports and batches do not move money. Confirm only payments you actually made. Returned payouts and post-payment purchase refunds have separate recovery records.
Automatic Connect funding, balance loading/reloading and routed payouts are not available. Recording an external payment is merchant confirmation, not bank verification.
A couple of good questions
Are loyalty points charged a payout fee?
No. Stamps, points and noncash referral benefits never carry a payout fee.
Will the platform transfer money automatically?
No. Pay partners externally and record the real payment.
