Lately I have been receiving several queries on ClickBank payment schedule, conditions and check arrival timings. I assume this post should clear the air on such questions, to start off let me clarify few points that you should be aware of:
- To start receiving payments you should meet the ClickBank CDR eligibility.
- Your earning threshold should be met before payout.
The customer distribution requirement (CDR) is a criteria set to ensure that there aren’t any fraud or malpractices occurring with your transactions as an effort of purchasing your own affiliate products. According to the CDR, your account must reflect purchases made with 5 or more unique credit card numbers and sales must have been made with two different recognized payment methods (Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal).
Once you have met the ClickBank CDR eligibility and have crossed the minimum payout amount that you have set in your account settings (at least 50 USD for payout) the ClickBank team will generate your check promptly and send it to your postal address. You can read more about the ClickBank CDR

You could find out if a check was generated for you under the “paychecks” submenu within your ClickBank account settings. For webmasters in India on an average the ClickBank check would reach you in 12 – 15 days time.
The paycheck’s section would clearly give the date of dispatch of the check to your address provided. Tracking my last two checks generated, I could say it would take on an average of 12 – 15 days time for delivery of the check.

The ClickBank check would look like the screenshot I have sufficed within this post and it is a Wells Fargo Bank check that could be account deposited to any Indian banks like ICICI, HDFC etc. Make sure you deposit your check well before 90 days time as it is the limit.
The check clearance would depend again on your bank’s processing time. For me it takes around 5 – 10 days for the check deposit to be processed by my bank.
Opting for ClickBank direct deposit
You could also opt for direct deposit of the check to your bank account after your first 2 paper checks arrive. ClickBank account will add another additional option to webmasters who have received 2 paper checks to start receiving direct bank deposits after they have your trust.
Hope this post has helped you understand the ClickBank Check arrival and payment schedule in India.
Hey Josh,
Thanks a lot for sharing the information. Glad to see your clickbank check as well
Feels good isnt it?
Regarding CDR even I used to have quite some confusion but the clickbank knowledge base makes it pretty clear.

Hey Josh!
Nice new post man! I am yet to receive my first check from CB. I have set the threshold as 100 USD but I have not met the CDR, so increased the threshold to 250 USD and now waiting for one more VISA payment to meet the CDR.
So 12 days to India is not a bad time for a check to reach from US, was it by standard post?
Cheers
Anil
@ Anil,
Yes it reached me through the regular post (India Post). Good that you increased the threshold and its a wise decision.
Note: The CDR is one time verification and then on you need not await any CDR approval.
Cheers

Wow! 540 USD is some good amount in India man! So how regularly do you receive CB payments is it monthly?
Do share some tips or write a post on affiliate marketing and improve you CB sales. I have been trying without much luck for more than 4 months now… Adsense works OK for me though..
Thanks for sharing the info for Indian users..

The smartest method is taking 2 paper checks and then opting for a bank transfer, i guess it works well with anyone from any part of the world.

Hey Bob..
Yes, That is the best method to adopt – No doubt. Thats why I like click bank, they are far better when compared to other similar affiliate networks.
cheers

Hello Joshu,
Very very useful post here! I can see in my CB dashboard as check sent on 26th April. Am still expecting the check – I stay at Indore.
Hopefully it comes this week according to you..

Question: why have you not opted for direct deposite yet?
I'm sure you have received more than 2 paper checks by now
Dear Alek,
it is basically a personal choice. I usually have a very periodic approach of receiving the checks in time and my bank gives me immediate clearance as its is a current account linked to my company.
For Tax filing and related purposes, A check is more suitable for me.

Josh
Hey there, You've done a great job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I am confident they'll be benefited from this website.
my first cheque 503$ sent date showing as 15-feb-2012. approx how many days taking to get my cheque in india
WOW Bro! you are really earning from Clickbank….
So do you earn by creating your own products or just affiliate products?
hey bro, i'm from Bangladesh. Unfortunately,Clickbank isn't available right now in my country. But i've some relatives in Kolkata,India. does it make any help to open account and point to bank account?
I deposited my CB Check on 1st of June, still today(25/06/2012), i don't have any information about it. May I know how much time it will take…..
When I say my bank manger to told me it will take 21 working days, if any body deposited in HDFC bank, please tell how many day's it will take, to deposit into my account.
In this matter which bank is better, means takes less time to to convert the CB check into cash.
