# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.goaffpro.com/getting-started-for-affiliates-1/getting-started-for-affiliates/getting-paid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
