The mistake: spending commission before it's truly yours

The mistake: spending commission before it's truly yours

New to recurring? Most programs have a clawback: if a customer refunds or charges back, they take that commission back from you.

Stay safe:
— Learn the refund window (often 14-60 days).
— Treat recent commissions as "pending," not spendable.
— Send people who genuinely fit the product, not anyone, to lower refunds.

Example: you earn $200 this month, but $40 of it is from this week's signups. If a few refund, your real keepable total might be $170, not $200.

In plain English: money can boomerang back out until the return window closes.

Try today: find the refund window in your program's terms and mentally label this week's earnings "not final yet."
