Set up your agency's payout account
Connect your agency's payout account with Stripe from the Partner Hub: what Stripe asks for, what each status means, why your code turns on when the account is ready and how each payment arrives.

Why Stripe
Interlinked AI pays commissions through Stripe Connect to an account in your agency’s name. Stripe verifies who is being paid and keeps your bank details; Interlinked doesn’t see or store them.
Your referral code doesn’t work until this account is ready. That way no client arrives with your code before we can pay you.
Connect the account
- In the panel, open the Partner Hub from the workspace switcher.
- Go to Settings.
- Under Payout account, click Connect payout account.
- Fill in Stripe’s form with your agency’s details and the bank account where you want to receive payouts.
- When you finish, Stripe takes you back to the Hub.
Only the owner and people with the finance role can connect or change the payout account. An admin can see it, but not change it.
Account statuses
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Not connected | You haven’t started yet. Your code doesn’t work. |
| Incomplete | Details are missing in Stripe. Click Complete details. |
| Being verified | Stripe is reviewing your details. It can take a few hours. |
| Ready | Your agency can now receive payouts and your code is active. |
When the account is Ready, in Links your code changes from “Waiting for the payout account” to Active.
If something goes wrong
- You closed the Stripe window before finishing. Go back to Settings and click Complete details; Stripe picks up where you left off.
- Stripe asks for more documents. Click Review in Stripe and upload what it asks for. Meanwhile the account stays in verification.
- Your agency’s bank account changed. Click Update details and change it in Stripe.
Note
Stripe has its own verification requirements depending on your agency's country; for example, the person representing the agency must be of legal age. Interlinked can't skip that verification.
How each payment arrives
- Each commission is Held for 30 days and then becomes Payable.
- On the first day of each month (Mexico City time) we gather the payable commissions, minus adjustments, into one statement per currency. Your agency’s owner and finance members get an email.
- Interlinked reviews it: it shows as In review, or as On hold if we need to clarify something. Once approved, it shows as Payment in progress.
- Once approved, the transfer goes out through Stripe to your agency’s account on its own. The statement shows as Paid and we let you know by email. Stripe deposits the money in your bank on its payout schedule.
If the month’s total doesn’t reach $25 USD (or $500 MXN), no statement is issued: the balance is added to the next month’s. See Partner commissions and payouts.
Note
This applies to referral commissions. Wholesale licenses work the other way around: your agency pays the full agreement up front. See Wholesale licenses for partners.
