This article looks at the Awin payment status and explains what the different statuses means and why they might change.
The Awin payment status system, also known as the traffic light status or payment level, determines how we pay your partners. This status is crucial for partners when deciding whether to join your affiliate program and promote your business, as it indicates how quickly they can expect payment for the sales they generate.
What do the payment categories mean
The system is divided into three categories:
Green: You are within your credit limit and approved commissions are paid in full on the next payment run.
Amber: You are outside your payment terms or credit limit. Approved commissions are paid to the partner only after Awin receives payment for the corresponding invoices.
Red: This indicates excessive and long-term unpaid debt. Approved commissions are paid to the partner only when all overdue invoices are settled with Awin.
Note
Awin Access and self-service clients will remain on amber payment status, as these accounts don’t have a credit limit. This can’t be changed or adjusted.
How to check your account status
You can view your payment status by navigating to Settings icon > Program settings > Program profile on Awin platform. Information about your payment status is in the left-hand column.
Why might the account status change
Your payment status may change due to several reasons, including:
Exceeding your credit limit
Not paying invoices on time
Exceeding prepayment and account top-up balance
Failed Direct Debit payments
