Commission rates
- Affiliates: $25.00 USD per qualified referral. No join fee and no monthly fee.
- Distributor Partners: $50.00 USD flat per qualified referral, with a 0% platform cut of that compensation.
- Franchise Partners: revenue share on branded storefront activity, net of the 10% platform fee and the $749 monthly maintenance fee.
Threshold and schedule
Commissions accrue in the partner dashboard as they qualify. A balance becomes payable once the accumulated approved balance reaches $100.00 USD. Payable balances are released on the regular payout cycle after approval. Balances below the threshold roll forward until the threshold is met.
Commission lifecycle
- Pending — referral recorded, awaiting qualification.
- Qualified — qualifying action completed and attributed.
- Approved — cleared fraud and compliance screening.
- Payable — balance has reached the $100.00 threshold.
- Paid — payout released, with the payout date recorded.
- Reversed or rejected — cancelled, refunded, duplicate, fraudulent or non-compliant.
Holds, reversals and clawbacks
Connect Med may place a payout hold on an account during a fraud, compliance or identity review. Commissions may be reversed for refunds, chargebacks, cancellations, duplicate or self-referrals, incentivized sign-ups, bot traffic or violations of the Marketing Compliance Policy or FTC Disclosure Policy. Amounts already paid on reversed commissions may be offset against future payouts or invoiced back.
Payment details and fees
Partners must maintain accurate payout details. Connect Med is not responsible for payments sent to details supplied incorrectly by the partner. Third-party processing fees, bank fees, currency conversion costs and returned-payment fees may be deducted from a payout.
Taxes
- Partners are independent contractors and are responsible for all taxes on compensation received.
- U.S. partners must submit a valid Form W-9 before any payout is released.
- Non-U.S. partners must submit the applicable Form W-8.
- Connect Med issues Form 1099-NEC where required by law, and may withhold payouts until required tax documentation is on file.
Dormant accounts and disputes
Balances on accounts inactive for twenty-four (24) months may be subject to review and applicable unclaimed-property law. Payout disputes must be raised in writing within sixty (60) days of the statement date; after that the statement is final.
