After you make a few sales, CDR must be met before you receive your first check. Here’s a reak down from ClickBank:
ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:
•Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers; and,
•Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, PayPal or European Direct Debit(ELV)). Note:

Before getting paid you need to meet this Customer Distribution Requirement.
ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria
is met. So, you are going to NEED FIVE SALES BEFORE YOU GET PAID.
Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are
considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90
days of inactivity, $5 per pay period after 180 days of inactivity, and $50 per pay period
after 365 days of inactivity.
Ffter 3 months of no sales, deductions begin chipping away at your account. Over 90% of ClickBank affiliates are INACTIVE.
There is a solution.
Obviously if you could make some quick easy sales of something, anything – which need not
even be your selected product niche – then you will be able to meet the Customer Distribution
Requirement, become eligible to receive your first check and soon get the 2 checks allowing
you to move to direct debit – which then means weekly payment and no more waiting for the
check in the mail.
