CF Affiliate - Using Tipalti to Receive Affiliate Commissions

Tipalti is the platform ClickFunnels uses to handle affiliate payouts and manage required tax documentation. It supports accurate and timely payments to affiliates across different countries. This article explains how the Tipalti process works for ClickFunnels affiliates and what to expect when setting up your account.

Requirements

• ClickFunnels affiliate account

What is Tipalti?

Tipalti is a third-party platform that automates the entire supplier payments operation. It helps businesses manage their accounts payable processes efficiently by streamlining invoice processing, tax compliance, payment reconciliation, and supplier communication. Tipalti provides features such as invoice processing, payment automation, global payment capabilities, tax compliance management, supplier onboarding, and reporting and analytics.

ClickFunnels uses Tipalti to organize tax documents and distribute payments to our affiliates on the 1st and 15th of each month per our payout guidelines. Once you earn your first commission, you'll be prompted to complete the Tipalti setup. To receive payment, your Tipalti account must be fully completed within 120 days of that first commission. This is required regardless of your country of residence; otherwise, your earnings will expire.

The three main parts to setting up your Tipalti Account are:

• Personal Information

• Tax Documents

• Payment Method

Tipalti Account Setup

1. Open your Affiliate Dashboard to begin the setup process. If you're a ClickFunnels user, access it from the CF2 Affiliate Center in your workspace menu or through the Referrals app. If you're an external affiliate, log in through the Customer Center, then click Affiliate Program and select Affiliate Dashboard.

2. Click Setup Tipalti.
   

3. You will be prompted to provide:

   1. Address

   2. Payment Method

   3. Tax Forms

4. The options available for Payment Methods are country-dependent. You can view the list of available methods by country to see which ones apply to your location. Commonly supported options include:

   1. Wire Transfer

   2. Global ACH / Local Bank Transfer

   3. Check

   4. PayPal

   5. Intercash

5. Once you complete this process, most US-based individuals or businesses will be confirmed "on the spot," and your Tipalti account will be immediately deemed as payable.

6. Non-US locations may require alternate tax documentation and could require additional verification before receiving the "Payable" tag.

7. Once your account is set as payable, you will be eligible to receive payouts on the 1st and 15th of each month as long as you meet our payout requirements.
