How payouts work on linkmint.co

This page explains, in simple terms, why your balance shows earnings but you can’t cash out yet. The short version: linkmint.co can only pay you after the affiliate partner pays us.

1. The payout chain (step by step)

  1. Step 1 — Click: Someone taps your smart link.
  2. Step 2 — Purchase: They buy something from the merchant (within the allowed cookie window and policy rules).
  3. Step 3 — Tracking: The merchant/affiliate network logs the sale under linkmint.co.
  4. Step 4 — Review period: The network reviews the order (for refund risk, fraud, etc.). This is usually around 30–90 days, depending on the merchant/network.
  5. Step 5 — Payout to linkmint.co: Once the order is approved, the network pays linkmint.co.
  6. Step 6 — Payout to you: Only after linkmint.co has been paid can your commission move into the payout-eligible pool.

Any platform that pays before Step 5 is basically lending money on risk. linkmint.co keeps it safer: no payout before we get paid.

2. Pending vs Approved vs Paid

Pending

We see the sale and the expected commission, but the affiliate network is still in the review / lock period.

Approved

The network has confirmed the order and will pay linkmint.co. Approved commissions are eligible for payout once funds arrive.

Paid

The commission has been successfully paid out to you (for example via PayPal) and logged in your payout history.

Your dashboard and Trust Center label every commission clearly with one of these states so you always know where your money is.

3. Honeymoon period & TrustScore

When you first join linkmint.co, your account goes through a honeymoon period (for example, the first 30 days). During this time, payouts move a bit slower on purpose.

  • We wait for real, clean activity: normal clicks, a few legit purchases, no spammy patterns.
  • Your behavior feeds into a TrustScore that helps unlock better tiers (up to 85%) and smoother payouts.
  • After the honeymoon period and a clean history, payouts can be processed faster once commissions are approved and paid to linkmint.co.

This protects everyone: honest users, the platform, and the merchants you’re linking to.

4. Early payouts (float) – when they are possible

In some cases, linkmint.co may offer early payouts for trusted users. This is always done using real money already received from faster-paying networks.

  • Only commissions that are marked approved by the affiliate network can be considered for early payout.
  • You must have a strong TrustScore and be outside your honeymoon period.
  • linkmint.co must have enough float balance available. There’s always a hard cap to prevent risk.

We do not offer early payouts on Amazon commissions unless they are explicitly marked fully approved and paid by Amazon’s system.

5. Minimums, fees, and payout methods

During the early phase, payouts are kept simple and manual for safety, usually via PayPal.

  • Each payout must meet the minimum threshold shown in your dashboard (for example, $10 or similar).
  • Standard PayPal fees are deducted from the payout amount as part of the platform rules.
  • More payout options (and auto-payouts) may open as the platform matures and volume grows.

For your exact thresholds, currencies, and supported methods, always follow the live info inside your dashboard.

6. Quick payout FAQ

“I see earnings. Why can’t I withdraw?”

Because they're still pending. We’re waiting for the affiliate network to approve the order and pay linkmint.co. Once approved and paid, they move to payout eligible.

“Will my money disappear if a purchase is refunded?”

If the network cancels the commission (refund, fraud, or rule violation), that specific earning is removed. We only pay out confirmed, paid commissions.

“How do I speed up my payouts?”

You can't shorten merchant review windows, but you can improve your TrustScore with clean traffic, real purchases, and no spam. That helps once commissions are approved.

If you still feel stuck or confused by a specific payout, check the Trust Center and your earnings page for exact labels and timestamps.
