Payouts
Getting new referrals come in is exciting, as it means the amount of revenue you are earning from the Ghost referral program is growing. Here's everything you need to know about getting paid.
Available payment methods
We support two payout methods that you can choose from depending on your preference.
1️⃣ Wise payouts
This is the preferred method with a $30 USD minimum payout amount.
If you don’t have a Wise account, you can create one for free at Wise.com. Read more about how to get a Wise account setup for payouts here:

Once you've followed this guide and setup your Wise account for payouts, you'll receive monthly payouts when due directly into your Wise account.
2️⃣ Direct bank account payouts
This payout method is best suited for those who have larger payout amounts, or people who aren't able to use Wise.com.
- The minimum payout amount when using a direct bank account payout is $300 — this means you won't receive a payout until you have made this amount or more in commission.
- You will be responsible for any payment fees associated with payouts to your bank account. This varies depending on your bank.
If you’d like to receive payouts to your bank account, then you’ll need to select the correct country, and provide bank details and your physical address from the referrals dashboard.
Payment schedule
Payouts are always calculated and paid monthly. If you have payouts due, then you will receive the payout around the 1st of each month (or the next working day).
The date may vary slightly depending on processing times for your chosen payout method. You can track your payouts in the referral dashboard any time, to see what payouts are upcoming.
The minimum accumulated commission an affiliate must earn to trigger payment from the Ghost affiliate program is $30 USD.
Refunds
If a referred Ghost(Pro) customer decides to cancel their subscription and receives a refund, our referral software automatically detects this and deducts the refunded amount from your commission.
As stated in our Terms of Service, refunds are at the explicit discretion of Ghost Foundation. We typically only offer full refunds within the first three days of starting a subscription, or pro-rated refunds if a customer has decided they no longer want to use the service on an annual plan.
