  • Payments will be processed within 7 days after the payout request.
  • If an order is canceled, refunded, or marked as fraudulent, the commission for that sale will be deducted from future payments.

4.1 Commission Adjustments for Canceled or Returned Orders

  • If an order placed using an affiliate’s referral link is canceled or refunded, the commission earned on that order will be deducted from future payouts.
  • If the affiliate does not have sufficient earnings in their account to cover the deduction, the negative balance will be adjusted in the next payout cycle.
  • The Pretty Picks reserves the right to hold commission payments for up to 30 days to account for potential cancellations or returns.
