You will then have clear visibility of your Referred Customer’s spend in calendar month format. A calculation will be applied at the end of each month based on your agreed Affiliate Tier and your commission will be paid directly to your preferred bank account within one calendar month of the calculated period. If you prefer, this commission may be applied as a credit to your Referrer touchSMS account.
