Apply, Join, and hops
How you leave PayoutDeals to join a programme, who pays you, and what Instant / Easy / Vetted mean.
How to apply
Click View Intel on a deal card to open the programme page. From there, Apply (or Apply to {brand} on Awin / Impact / CJ) sends you to the merchant’s recruitment page or a public programme page on that network. Listings without a merchant or programme-specific URL are paused instead of sending you to a generic network signup.
Once they approve you, you get your tracking link from them — not from this directory.
Apply and Join go to the official programme or network URL. We do not currently use our own referral (tracking) links. If that changes, we will say so on the disclosure page and next to those buttons.
Who pays you
All payments are made directly by the merchant or their managing affiliate network into your linked bank account (BACS, SEPA, ACH, Wire) or PayPal.
Payout schedules generally follow Net-30 or Net-60 terms (for example, sales generated in January are paid at the end of February after refund windows close).
PayoutDeals never handles commissions or banking details. Payment is between you and the merchant or network.
Approval if you are just starting
Yes, you can apply without a large site. Filter by Instant or Easy approval if you are starting out.
- Instant usually means a tracking link after signup.
- Easy is a short form.
- Vetted programmes typically want a live site and a manual review.
