Your ClickBank Check

[Master Affiliate]

I have mentioned the requirements you must meet in order to get your first ClickBank check in previous posts.* But it can be a bit confusing why you are not getting paid even though you have made some sales.

The main roadblock is something innocently called the CDR: Customer Distribution Requirement

ClickBank accounts cannot be used for the sole purpose of collecting rebates or otherwise extending credit to yourself or others. In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until it contains standing sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, including at least one Visa card, and one MasterCard. PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum.*

So your sales need to meet the above criteria before you will ever get a check.* The next hurdle is your minimum check amount which you set in your account details.* The default is $100, so once you meet the CDR you must have the minimum check amount in order to get a check.* Higher is sometimes better here because there is a $2 fee per check.

I was asked recently about the check itself and how it arrives.* It comes via the regular USPS mail to your address of record in your account.* It is a plain business envelope with a return address of WWW.CLICKBANK.COM .* It could easily get mistaken for junk mail so be sure to look carefully.* Inside you will simply find a check and nothing else.* It will have your name and address as well as your ClickBank id.* Just for the record, the checks are paid from Wells Fargo Bank out of Boise, Idaho.

ClickBank also has direct deposit options:

ClickBank is pleased to offer direct deposit of your ClickBank account payment to U.S. bank accounts at no extra charge. An account must have first received three paper paychecks within any 90-day period before it is eligible to enroll in direct deposit. Direct deposits may take 1-2 business days to reach your account, although many direct deposits are received on the same day that we send them.

They also offer international Direct Deposit for their worldly affiliates.

All your payment, or lack of payment, information can be found under the Reporting tab of your ClickBank account.
