How to post affiliate links & discount codes on Instagram
Here’s how to post affiliate links and discount codes on Instagram.
Adding your bank account to the platform will ensure you get paid every month, directly into your bank account for any commissions you have earned.
To add your bank account, just follow the below instructions:
All payments through Avelon are automated and we use Wise to transfer commissions across the world.
Please be aware: Stripe is no longer supported as a payment transfer system within Avelon and Wise is our preferred option. If you have previously set up Stripe, then you will be paid through Stripe – but accounts registered on Avelon after March 1st 2026 are paid through Wise.
Avelon is a UK based company and uses WISE to make payments across the world.
You can see how much commission you have earned in two ways:
1. Dashboard (see below).
This shows you how much commission you earned on the specified month.
You can also adjust your date range to view exactly how much you have earned via your sales and clicks. Total Earnings from sales explains how much you have earned from sales, whilst Earned from clicks explains how much you have earned if you have been promoting clicks on a cpc (cost per click) basis.
2. Your Wallet.
Your wallet shows how much commission you will be paid at the end of the billing cycle. It’s like your own bank account with Avelon.
You can access your Wallet by going to Account > scrolling down to your Wallet.
Please be aware that your wallet updates on the 15th of every month for the previous billing cycles commission. You can read more about this below.
Your wallet updates on the 5th of every month and will show your total commission from the total billing cycle. A billing cycle is a 6-week cycle.
For example, if you earned £50.00 commission from a sale in August, then the commission will be assigned to your wallet on the 5th October. This commission will then be paid on the 15th October.
There is a 30-day ‘query time’ between the end of August and the 5th October. This query time allows the merchant to adjust commission based on returns, cancellations, part-returns or just general issues. Once this period of time has passed, the commission is debited from the merchants designated bank account, assigned to your wallet and then you will be paid your due commissions.
An example of this is below:
Commission payments are processed on the 15th of the month and usually take 2-3 working days to arrive in your bank account.
You can check the amount you have in your wallet by going to your Dashboard and clicking Account on the left hand side menu.
Yes, there is a minimum commission payout of £20.00.
You can view your progress via the blue progress bar in your wallet.
Yes, you can request an early payout of the funds that are in your wallet.
Simply click the Request early payout button in grey at the bottom of your wallet.
Please be aware that once you confirm you want an early payout, you cannot cancel your request.
Commission payment speed is dependent on your bank – but the usual payment time is 2-3 working days from the day the payment transfer has started.
