Affiliate payouts: every fee, one page
When you pay your affiliates their commissions, Rekomi runs the payout for you across 130+ countries, collects W-9/W-8s during onboarding, and preps the year-end 1099-NEC worksheet. Here is everything either side pays. Share this page; it is always current.
What the brand pays
| Fee | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription | $29, $49, or $99 per month | Covers the software: tracking, campaigns, the dashboard. See pricing for what each plan includes. |
| Payout fee | A flat 3% of what you send affiliates (2.5% on Enterprise) | All-in: Stripe's processing cost is baked in, so there is never a separate processor charge on top. Charged on top of the gross, never taken out of the affiliate's payout. No cap, no minimum, no per-affiliate charges. |
In return Rekomi runs payouts for you: global transfers on Stripe, bank deposit, and PayPal, currency handling, W-9/W-8 collection, and a year-end 1099-NEC candidates worksheet. You never run a separate payouts process, and you never file for your affiliates; Rekomi is the payer of record.
What the affiliate pays
Affiliates keep 100% of their commission. The only deduction Rekomi makes is the payment processor's own cost of moving the money, passed through exactly, with no markup; a currency conversion on their Stripe or PayPal side, if any, is at that provider's own rate.
| Payout method | Cost (passed through at cost) |
|---|---|
| Stripe bank payout (42 countries) | $2.25 once per calendar month (only in months they are paid) + 0.25% of the transfer. A second payout in the same month carries only the 0.25%. |
| Bank deposit (60 more countries) | $1.50 per payout plus a cross-border and currency-conversion rate that depends on the destination country (0.75% to 2.25% of the amount sent). That is Stripe's per-send cost, passed through exactly; Rekomi adds nothing. |
| PayPal (30 more countries) | 2% of the amount sent, capped at $20. Sent through PayPal's Payouts API, so PayPal deducts nothing on arrival; this is exactly PayPal's own sending cost, passed through with no markup. |
Worked example
A $1,000 payout to one affiliate, standard 3% rate, their only payout that month.
| Stripe rail | PayPal rail | |
|---|---|---|
| Brand is charged | $1,030.00 ($1,000 + 3%) | $1,030.00 ($1,000 + 3%) |
| Affiliate is credited | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 |
| Transfer cost (processor's own, no markup) | $2.25 + $2.50 (0.25%) | $19.61 (2% of the amount sent) |
| Affiliate receives | $995.25 | $980.39 |
The fine print, briefly
- Each plan includes a monthly payout volume guide (Starter $2,500, Growth $15,000, Pro and Enterprise unlimited). It is a guide, not a wall: payouts are never blocked and there is no overage fee; the flat 3% applies to all volume.
- Rekomi only earns when your affiliates earn: no charges per affiliate, per click, or per tracked customer.
- Your business can be in virtually any country in the world: fund payout runs by bank transfer from any bank, and US, EU, UK, and Canadian brands can also link an automatic bank debit. Full funding details in the payouts doc.
- Booking a creator for a flat amount is a brand deal, with its own capped fee: see the brand deal fee sheet.
- The authoritative plan prices live on the pricing page.
