How rand payouts work
Networks pay in US dollars. You are paid in rand, by EFT, at a rate that is set once for each payout run and recorded so that the number cannot move afterwards.

The currencies in this model are two different things, and mixing them up is the most common source of confusion about payouts. What you earn is a commission in US dollars. What arrives in your bank account is rand.
Only approved commission is payable
A conversion arrives pending. It becomes payable when the network approves it. Until then it is not yours, and it might be reversed. Your dashboard keeps the two separate on purpose, so that a good day of clicks does not look like money that already exists.
When a payout run happens, Campflow adds up your approved, unpaid commission. Reversals that arrived after an earlier payment are netted off first, because the ledger carries them forward rather than editing anything that was already paid.
The rate is fixed per run
The rand amount is calculated at a rate confirmed for that specific payout run, and the rate is stored on the payout itself. It is never revalued afterwards. If the exchange rate moves the following week, an already-paid payout does not change, and a future one uses the rate confirmed for it.
Amounts are whole cents. A creator share is rounded down to the cent, and the platform takes the remainder, so the two parts always add up to the gross exactly. There is no rounding somewhere in the middle that makes a figure untraceable.
Getting paid
- Give Campflow your bank details. They are stored encrypted and shown back to you only as the last four digits.
- Campflow verifies the details once, by hand, against your name. Payment does not happen before that is done.
- When a payout run happens, your approved commission is converted and paid by EFT.
- The payment, the rate used and the conversions it covered are recorded, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
The minimum payout and the payout schedule are published in your dashboard and in the creator agreement, because they are settings that can change rather than constants. If you need a figure confirmed before it appears in your own account, ask and we will tell you.
Questions people ask
- Why is my balance smaller than my commissions? Because pending commission is not payable yet, and because reversals net off before a payout.
- Can a payout be corrected after it is paid? It is not edited. A reversal or an adjustment is a new ledger entry, and the trail stays readable.
- Do I need a business bank account? No, but the account must be in your name. Campflow pays the person it has verified.
- Is commission taxed? It is income, and how you declare it is your responsibility. The FAQ says the same thing in fewer words.
