Actionpay Review: Payout, Pros & Cons

Actionpay is a global CPA network that has been around since 2010, with its Brazilian office opening in early 2014 as part of its expansion into Latin America. It connects affiliates with advertisers across finance, e-commerce, education, travel, cars, real estate, online games and mobile apps, and it pays for completed actions such as sales, sign-ups and leads.

Our pick for: affiliates with Brazilian or Latin American traffic, especially in finance and e-commerce.

The best thing about Actionpay is how often it pays. Its own publisher terms say payments go out every Friday, which is faster than the monthly schedule most networks use. The minimum withdrawal is R$100 through the system, or R$50 if you ask by email, and you can be paid by PayPal or bank transfer. Note that international transfers cost extra: 6% for PayPal and 15% for bank transfer, taken from your total. You only get paid for conversions the advertiser approves and pays for, and you need to send an invoice before payment.

Getting in is not automatic. Actionpay can refuse any affiliate or traffic source without giving a reason, and personal websites need at least 150 visitors a day, must be in Portuguese and must be on paid hosting. Adult content is banned. There is also a 5% referral bonus if you bring in other affiliates. If your traffic fits Brazil and you can meet the entry rules, the weekly payouts make Actionpay worth a look.
