Affiliate & Payouts

Processing Payouts

Converting commissions into payments is easy with our Batch Payout system. We help you calculate what's owed and keep your records synced.

The Payout Workflow

Go to the Payouts tab to see your current liabilities.

1. View Pending Commissions

This shows all processed sales that have not yet been included in a payment batch. You can see the total owed across your entire roster.

2. Create a Payout Batch

When you're ready to pay your ambassadors:

  1. Click "Create Payout Batch".
  2. Select which ambassadors to include (you can filter by tier or payment amount).
  3. Name your batch (e.g., "August 2026 Commissions").
  4. Sonar Seed will lock these commissions into a single batch, preventing them from being double-paid.

3. Processing the Payment

Sonar Seed does not move money directly (e.g., we are not a bank). Instead, we provide the files you need to pay via your preferred method.

  • Export CSV: Download a CSV formatted for bulk uploads to PayPal, Wise, or your bank's portal.
  • Batch Details: See exactly how much to pay each individual.

4. Mark as Paid

Once you have executed the payments in your banking portal:

  • Come back to Sonar Seed and click "Mark Batch as Paid".
  • This updates each ambassador's "Paid" balance and notifies them through their portal that their payment is on the way.

Refunds & Adjustments

If a Shopify order is refunded, Sonar Seed will automatically adjust the ambassador's "Pending" balance by deducting the commission earned on that order. This ensures you only pay for completed, non-refunded sales.
