Guidelines for influencer earnings and payouts on the CpaKaro platform.
1. Overview
CpaKaro (operated by SMStudio) provides a platform for influencers to earn commissions by sharing retailer deals and offers. This Payment Policy outlines how earnings are calculated, when they are paid, and the conditions that must be met to withdraw your earnings.
2. Earning Commissions
-
Cost Per Sale (CPS) Campaigns: Influencers earn a percentage of the total purchase amount when a user completes a purchase using their shared affiliate link.
-
Cost Per Action (CPA) Campaigns: Earnings are generated when a user completes an action, such as registration, downloads, or deposits, through the affiliate link.
-
Commission Validation: The commission amount is subject to validation by the retailer. The final earnings are calculated after the return and cancellation periods have passed.
3. Commission Validation Timeline
-
CPS Campaigns: Validation can take between **30 to 60 days**, as it depends on the retailer's return or cancellation policy. After the retailer confirms that the sale has been successfully completed, the commission is credited.
-
CPA Campaigns: These campaigns are generally validated faster, with earnings credited instantly or within **2-3 days**, depending on the action and retailer verification process.
4. Minimum Payout Threshold
To withdraw earnings from CpaKaro, influencers must accumulate a minimum balance of **₹10**. This ensures a seamless payment experience for both CpaKaro and its users.
5. Payment Methods
CpaKaro offers the following payment options:
- Bank Transfer: Payments can be directly transferred to your bank account (requires account number and IFSC code).
- UPI: Payments can be processed via UPI (Unified Payments Interface), a fast and convenient method.
- Other Methods: In the future, CpaKaro may introduce additional payment methods, such as Paytm or other wallet services.
6. Payment Timeline
Once the minimum payout threshold is reached, payments are processed as follows:
-
Payment Cycle: Payments are processed on a **monthly basis**. All commissions validated by the retailer during a given month will be paid by the **end of the next month**.
-
Payment Delays: In rare cases, payments may be delayed due to technical or verification issues. If this happens, CpaKaro will notify users of the delay and provide an estimated resolution time.
7. Refunds, Returns, and Cancellations
If a purchase linked to your account is returned or canceled, the corresponding commission will be deducted from your earnings, even after it has been credited. This ensures transparency and fairness in the commission calculation process.
8. Taxes and Fees
-
Taxes: Influencers are responsible for any taxes that may be applicable to their earnings, in accordance with the laws of their country of residence.
-
Processing Fees: CpaKaro does not charge any processing fees for payments, but your bank or payment provider may apply standard transaction charges.
9. Fraudulent Activity
CpaKaro takes fraud seriously. If any suspicious or fraudulent activity is detected in your account (e.g., self-referrals, misuse of affiliate links), your account may be suspended, and all pending payments may be withheld or canceled.
