# Partner Payouts
> Work the payout queue end to end: pending, approved for payout, paid, and denied, plus export and search.
# Partner Payouts
The Payout section is where you approve or deny partner payouts. When a customer signs up through a referral link, the payout and commission are recorded automatically and appear under **Payout - Pending** on the 1st of the following month (or per your payout terms). Open it from the Affiliate Manager dropdown.
The flow is: review **Pending** → **Approve for Payout** → export the CSV and pay through your gateway → mark **Paid**.

## Pending Payouts
All generated payouts land on the **Pending** tab, organized by month.
**Affiliate Name** — every partner eligible for a payout.
**Email** — the partner's email, which receives their unique affiliate ID.
**Campaign** — the campaigns the partner is associated with.
**Payout Month** — the month and year the payout is attributed to.
**Amount** — the pending commission.
Review each payout and click **Approve for Payout** for eligible partners; approved payouts move to the **Approved for Payout** tab.
The three-dot menu next to each partner shows their past commissions or denies the current payout.
## Approved for Payout
Approved payouts wait here until you pay them. Export the file of partner details and amounts, and process the payments through your payment gateway.
**Affiliate Name** — every partner with an approved payout.
**Email** — the partner's email.
**Campaign** — the associated campaigns.
**Payout Month** — the month and year the payout is attributed to.
**Amount** — the commission owed.
**Due Date** — the deadline for payment.
Click **Pay** to pay a partner; a confirmation modal shows the transaction details before processing.
Payments run through your connected payment gateway — Stripe, NMI, Authorize.net, or PayPal.
After paying through your gateway, mark the payout **Paid** in the Affiliate Manager. Reporting for the partner and campaign stays accurate only if statuses are kept up to date.
The three-dot menu shows past commissions or moves the payout back to **Pending** for further review.
## Paid Payouts
The **Paid** tab lists every partner who has received their payout, with transaction dates. Paid is final — a paid payout cannot be reverted to a previous status.

**Email** — the partner's email.
**Campaign** — the associated campaigns.
**Payout Month** — the month and year the payout is attributed to.
**Date Paid** — when the payment completed.
**Amount** — the commission paid.
The three-dot menu shows the partner's past commissions.
## Denied Payouts
Payouts denied at the **Pending** or **Approved for Payout** stage land here, where the partner can see the details.
**Affiliate Name** — every partner whose payout was denied.
**Email** — the partner's email.
**Campaign** — the associated campaigns.
**Payout Month** — the month and year the payout is attributed to.
**Amount** — the denied commission.
The three-dot menu shows past commissions or moves the payout back to **Pending** for further review.
