The “Payment Threshold” is a predetermined minimum amount of money ClickBank users must have in their account before a payment is issued. You can select an amount between $10 and $1,000,000 as your payment threshold amount. The default amount is $100.

“Account Activity” refers to any sales and/or commissions that have been accrued by your account through revenue share or CPA.

Once the funds in your account reach your payment threshold, payment is issued. However, the amount issued may be less than the full amount due to one or more deductions. These deductions may be because of the payment period processing charge, or, if payments are paid via wire transfer, an additional payment fee.

ClickBank withholds a fraction of the revenue earned during each pay period, which is released back to your account after 12 weeks (about 84 days). These funds are used to manage quality issues that may arise with Products you publish or promote, including delayed refunds or charged back sales. The standard return allowance is 10%. ClickBank may adjust your return allowance at any time.

If your account has no account activity over an extended period of time, it will be considered dormant. Dormant accounts are issued a fee per pay period they remain dormant. That fee schedule is as follows:

If your account is dormant and you no longer wish to maintain it, you can close your account.

In accordance with the Return and Cancellation Policy, ClickBank may authorize product returns. When a sale is returned, the customer receives a 100% refund that is paid out of the corresponding ClickBank Client account.

If the return is being issued for a recurring billing product, then the most recent payment is refunded. A refund for a recurring product also cancels any further recurring payments for that product.

A purchase is “charged back” when a customer disputes the charge through their bank or credit card company. A customer might dispute a charge when they believe the transaction was unfunded, unauthorized, or fraudulent. They might also pursue this step when they have not received a refund directly from the retailer.

Chargebacks cost ClickBank money and harm its valuable reputation as a reliable internet retailer. Because of this, if a ClickBank Seller is the subject of a chargeback, they will be assessed a fee based on the following fee schedule:
