## **Affiliate Payout Request from Portal**

Affiliates can request payouts directly from the Affiliate Portal. Requests can be made as cash payouts, store credit, or coupons.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Affiliates can submit only one payout request at a time. A new request can be made only after the current one is completed.**
{% endhint %}

### **Requesting a Payout**

From the Affiliate Portal, click **Request Payout**, choose the payout type, enter the amount or notes, and submit the request.

Once submitted, the payout request is automatically sent to the store admin for review.

If auto-approval is disabled, submit the request for admin approval. If enabled, enter the amount and click **Request Payout** to receive store credit or a coupon.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Only store credit and coupons can be requested from the portal**
{% endhint %}

### **Auto-Approval Behavior**

When auto-approval is enabled, store credit or coupon requests are processed instantly without admin action.

This process allows affiliates to request and receive earnings quickly while giving admins full control over approvals.
