Payments FAQ

How it works

01Who actually pays my affiliates?

Tolt does. Before each payout date you get a draft invoice with every partner who’s due. You review it and pay it, and Tolt pays each partner from there, in their own currency and by the method they chose.

Pays every partner on it
02How do I pay the invoice?

By bank transfer or card, or let Tolt charge your card automatically each payout. Partners are paid once the invoice is.

03When do affiliates get paid?

On your program’s payout schedule. A commission becomes payable after the terms you set, NET-15, NET-30 or NET-60, which leaves time for refunds before any money moves.

  • NET-15
  • NET-30
  • NET-60

Compliance and tax

04Do you check who my affiliates are?

Yes. Every partner verifies their identity before their first payout and is screened against sanctions lists before they’re paid. Anyone who doesn’t clear isn’t paid until it’s resolved.

05Which tax forms do you handle?

US partners sign a W-9, and everyone else a W-8BEN or, for companies, a W-8BEN-E, in their portal before their first payout. Tolt keeps them on file and files 1099-NECs for your eligible US partners at year-end.

  • W-9
  • W-8BEN
  • W-8BEN-E
  • 1099-NEC
06What if an affiliate hasn’t filled in their tax form?

They stay off the invoice until they do, along with anyone missing a payout method. You’re never asked to pay a partner whose details aren’t complete.
