3 Likes
Clickfunnels pays from 30% to 40% commission on all their main products, except their free + shipping offers.
Clickfunnels used to pay 5% on all sales made by affiliates you refer (ie. second tier commissions), but apparently they are not doing that anymore, as it’s not advertised on any of their online content.
The monthly commission also got reduced recently from 40% down to just 30%, unless you manage to drive at least 40+ monthly active referrals to the platform, and only then your commission cut will get increased to 40%.
Rarely, Clickfunnels does launch limited-time contests for their affiliates, which usually have a one-time commission reward on each referral or lead.
ClickFunnels commissions are paid weekly after a 30 days grace period as long as there is a minimum of $50 earned.

How does Clickfunnels pay affiliates
Clickfunnels used to pay their affiliates mainly through PayPal or by sending them checks, but starting from mid-2019 Clickfunnels partnered with Tipalti and started paying commissions through them. When signing up to join the Clickfunnels affiliate program you’ll be redirected to Tiplati’s website to set up your account there.
On Tipalti you’ll have more options to get paid your monthly commission including direct wire transfers to your local bank in your local currency.
The downside of using Tipalti (if there is one) is they’ll be taking a $5 fee from your commission before converting it and paying to your local bank or payment method.

As a general rule of thumb Clickfunnels or (Etison LLC & Russell Brunson the company & the guy behind Clickfunnels) pays a 40% commission to all their affiliate referrals. and they pay 5% on all sales made through affiliates you refer. I haven’t seen any of their products yet to which that rule doesn’t apply.
I think that 40% rule doesn’t apply to their 2 Comma Club Coaching program. I believe they only give out 20%. But it’s still a high price program goes up to 14K!
It all really depends on where you are in the ClickFunnels affiliate program, what I mean by this is that ClickFunnels has a tiered structure for its affiliate program, with the various tiers making different levels of commissions depending on what tier they are.
Tier 1 ClickFunnels Affiliates start off making 20% commissions on the pricing plans. When you make $1000 per month in commissions in a single month and complete the affiliate bootcamp training you will qualify to become a Tier 2 ClickFunnels Affiliate.
Tier2 ClickFunnels Affiliates earn 30% recurring commissions per month on the various Clickfunnels products. Tier 2 Affiliates can progress to Tier 3 Affiliates by having at least 40 premium members signed up under your affiliate ID for a minimum of 30 days.
Tier 3 ClickFunnels Affiliates earn 40% commissions on all product sales under their affiliate ID.
So let’s break down what that actually translates to. For everyone that’s a Tier 1 ClickFunnels Affiliate, if someone signs up to the ClickFunnels regular plan via your affiliate ID, you will receive $19.40 per month and $59.40 per month for the Platinum Plan
For Tier 2 ClickFunnel Affiliates that translates to $29.10 per month for users on the regular plan and $89.10 per month on the Platinum Plan.
For Tier 3 ClickFunnels Affiliates this works out for the regular plan as $38.80 per month and $118.80 per month for the platinum plan as long as they remain customers, this is huge!
If you add the commissions with many of the front and back end offers available, you could be walking away with a tidy sum.
I have written an in-depth review of ClickFunnels vs LeadPages if any of you are interested in what both products can do.
