How do Payments work with VigLink?

All payments with VigLink are made through PayPal.  We cover the fees, so there is no cost to you.

We pay on a net-60 day basis, so the revenue you accrue in May will be paid at the end of July, for example.  Payments are made at the end of each month.  

Here are additional details about Payments through VigLink:

Here are the key points:

  • All payments are now made through PayPal
  • There is no monthly minimum
  • We pay you the same month we receive money from the merchants

Don't worry if your VigLink email is not connected to your PayPal account, PayPal makes it very easy to associate new emails with your account. They will notify you when your money is sent and walk you through the steps of claiming it. If you want to change your viglink email anyway, do so here. Creating a PayPal account is free, and there are no new charges or fees for you.

Please note that a reported commission will not be paid out until we receive the money from the merchant. This can take up to 60 days for some merchants, but many are faster. Here is the life cycle of your payment, from click to PayPal transfer. How long a particular transaction takes at each stage depends on the terms of that merchant.

  1. Click
  2. Transaction (cookie duration - often 30 days, although sometimes as short as a single session or as long as 120 days or even potentially longer, all depending on the merchant. Merchants make decisions as to cookie duration and VigLink has no control over this.)
  3. Commission credited (24 hours to 1 week, depending on merchant)
  4. Commission displayed in VigLink Dashboard (same day)
  5. Merchant clears commission on network and sends money to VigLink. (30-90 days, depends on network and merchant)
  6. VigLink transfers you money (end of the same month)
