Payments

Under Affiliate → Payments you manage how Highcovery bills the commission. The commission is invoiced monthly and charged automatically via Stripe.

​
Payment overview

If Outstanding shows a negative value, orders were cancelled or refunded after an invoice was issued. The amount is offset with the next invoice.

​
Payment method

1

Set up

Click Set up next to Stripe and add your card.
2

Confirm

After confirmation the card appears with brand, last four digits and expiry date. Use Add another to add further cards.
Without a valid payment method affiliate tracking is deactivated. If you remove your last card, the dashboard points this out. If there are open payments, they are retried immediately after you add a new card.

​
How monthly billing works

  1. At the end of the month Highcovery checks the not yet invoiced commission per online shop.
  2. If the amount is below the minimum payout (default 50 €), no invoice is created. The amount carries over to the next month.
  3. If the amount reaches the minimum payout, Highcovery creates an invoice Highcovery Affiliate Commission MM/YYYY and charges it to your payment method.

​
Payment settings

This section shows the commission rate, payment schedule (monthly) and the status of automatic billing. The values come from your contract and cannot be changed here.

​
VAT ID

Enter your VAT ID, for example DE123456789, so it appears on the invoices. Use Update to change it and Remove to delete it.

​
Payment history

The table shows the last 20 payments with date, amount, status, reference and a link to the invoice. Possible statuses: Successful, Pending, Processing, Cancelled, Failed.
If a payment fails, check the card on file. After you add a valid card, the open payment is retried automatically.
