Commission Payment Options - An Overview
We get a number of questions about the payment options available for you to receive your commission earnings. Here’s a breakdown from our Support team with answers to common questions. We will break this down in 2 segments, Domestic (U.S.) Resellers and International Resellers.
Note: The terms of the reseller agreement were updated on November 24, 2009 and these rules will apply beginning with Reseller Commission payments for November 2009 (Paid in December) or 4th Quarter 2009 (Paid in December) for International Resellers being paid by check.
Domestic (U.S.) Resellers:
Check – To receive a check payment for your reseller commissions we will need you to enter your Name, Address, City, State, Zip and Phone number into your payee account. Checks are mailed at the end of the month, usually the last business day. There is a $100 minimum earning required before a check will be issued. There is also a $25 check fee per check; new resellers are exempt from this fee for their first three months as a reseller. This fee is non-refundable if a check is mailed to you even if you do not cash the check or it is returned to us by the Post Office. Checks are sent via standard US Mail and we do not offer any priority shipping.
ACH/Direct Deposit – To have your commissions directly deposited to your bank account, choose this option. We will need the name on the account, ABA Routing Number and Account Number. We are only able to make ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments to standard personal or business savings or checking accounts. We cannot deposit to money market accounts, IRA or 401(k) accounts, etc.
ACH payments are sent on the 25th of the month, or adjusted to the day before if the 25th falls on a Saturday or Holiday, or the day after if the 25th falls on a Sunday. There is a $50 minimum earning required to receive payment and there is no fee as with checks. Since we do have to validate your banking account info, we do pre-note each account when it is first setup. This will delay your payments from being processed approximately 4-6 weeks. This is only required at initial setup or when you update your bank account info so please keep this in mind when you need to make changes.
Paypal® – We have just recently added this option. All that is required is your Paypal email address. We currently make Paypal payments on the last business day of the month. There is no fee to receive your commissions via Paypal and there is a $25 minimum earning required prior to payment being made. PayPal payments are sent on the 25th of the month, or adjusted to the day before if the 25th falls on a Saturday or Holiday, or the day after if the 25th falls on a Sunday.
Good As Gold – We also just recently added this option. Good As Gold is like a debit account for you to use, that is tied to your Go Daddy® or Wild West Domains® account. There is a $5 minimum for earning required prior to payment being made. Good As Gold payments are deposited on the 25th of the month, or adjusted to the day before if the 25th falls on a Saturday or Holiday, or the day after if the 25th falls on a Sunday.
You may then use those funds for purchases through that account. If you purchased your Reseller account through Go Daddy for example, you would be able to use these funds on other Go Daddy purchases or even just for renewal of your reseller plan. There is no fee associated with the deposit of commissions into Good As Gold accounts.
You will also get a 2% discount on purchases when you use your Good As Gold account for payment. To withdraw funds from your Good As Gold account there is a $20 fee to issue the check and only the full amount will be withdrawn.
International Resellers (non-U.S.)
Check - To receive a check payment for your reseller commissions we will need you to enter your Name, Address, City, State/Province, Postal Code, Country and Phone number into your payee account. Checks are sent on a quarterly schedule, as listed below. There is a $100 minimum earning required before a check will be issued. There is no check fee per check sent. Checks are sent via standard US Mail and we do not offer any priority shipping.
Checks to International Resellers are sent every quarter on the following dates:
- January 31st, for commission earned October 1st to December 31st.
- April 30th, for commission earned January 1st to March 31st.
- July 31st, for commission earned April 1st to June 30th.

Important Notes:
- The only way for International resellers to be paid monthly is by choosing Paypal or Good As Gold.
- If the minimum amount of commission earned is not reached in a particular month, the balance will roll over and continue to do so until the total reaches the minimum amount. Once thresholds are met, payment will be sent for all commission owed.
- PPC commission does not count towards the minimum amount required for payment to be sent.
- The terms of the reseller agreement were updated on November 24, 2009 and these rules will apply beginning with Reseller Commission payments for November 2009 (Paid in December) or 4th Quarter 2009 (Paid in December) for International Resellers being paid by check.
