Payouts Settlement
Partners will receive a notification of a new released payout for all successful purchases that occurred in the previous month. Here's how the process works:
On the 6th day of each month, a new payout record for the previous month will be created with a Pending status.
The partner must upload the corresponding invoice within 5 days.
Once the invoice is uploaded, the status will transition to In Review.
Any invoices submitted after the 14th (not accounting for weekends) will be processed in the following month.
Once finance confirms the uploaded invoice and proceeds with payment, the partner will be informed about the settlement.
If the invoice is rejected, the partner will be informed about the rejection reason and will have the opportunity to re-upload the invoice. The same cycle will begin again.

Withholding Tax (WHT):
Partners operating outside Saudi Arabia are required to pay WHT:
15% for app partners
5% for theme partners
The WHT amount will be automatically calculated for the partner’s payout and deducted from the invoice.
