# Getting Paid

Affiliate marketing operates on a revenue-sharing model, where the merchant compensates the affiliate for promoting products.

#### How do I get paid for my promotions?

Before you start your promotions, you will need to set up your payment details. You can do this from the Payment Settings section in the affiliate dashboard.

You should also check the minimum payout, which is the amount of money you will have to earn (from your referrals) before being paid, and the payment terms, which are the term periods for payment. 

{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended that you ask the store merchant about the details of their commission structure, minimum payouts, and payment terms. 

Additionally, if your preferred payment method is not available, you can request the merchant to set it up for you.
{% endhint %}
