## What are Bonuses and How Do They Work?

In Tapfiliate, bonuses are **extra incentives** offered by the program manager on top of your standard commissions. They are typically tied to specific performance milestones within a set timeframe (e.g., a calendar month).\

**How they work:**

* **Target Metrics:** Bonuses are usually based on two things: your **Total Conversion Amount** (e.g., selling \$1,000 worth of products) or your **Number of Conversions** (e.g., making 100 individual sales).
* **Time-Bound:** Each bonus has a "Bonus Period." You must hit the goal before the timer runs out. Once the period ends, the counter resets.
* **Not Cumulative:** Bonuses are generally tiered. If you hit a higher tier, you earn that specific reward rather than a sum of all previous tiers.

## FAQ

### ❓When do I get paid my bonus?

Bonus commissions are typically generated after the bonus period ends and once all required conversions are approved. If you have questions regarding your specific payout, please **reach out to your program manager directly** rather than Tapfiliate support.

### ❓Can I track multiple bonuses at once?

Yes. If the program manager has multiple active incentives and has added you to them (like a seasonal sale and a long-term volume bonus), you can track them simultaneously on the **Bonuses** tab.

### ❓What happens if a customer returns a product?

If a conversion is disapproved, it is removed from your progress bar, which may affect your milestone achievement.

### ❓Do pending conversions count toward the deadline?

As long as the sale occurs before the timer reaches zero, it will count toward that period once it is approved.
