DurationFor a referred subscriber on a monthly plan, the CPA is paid for up to the first 3 months; for a referred subscriber on an annual plan, it is a single one-time payment
Attribution window90 days (first-click attribution) for Envato Market; 60 days for Envato Elements and Placeit
Payment delayCommissions earned in a calendar month are paid on the 16th of the following month
Payment scheduleMonthly; earnings post to your Impact account on the 16th of the following month
Payout formPaid out through your Impact account; withdrawal options (e.g. PayPal, bank transfer/Payoneer) are those Impact offers
Self-referralNot paid: the General Terms bar self-purchasing, and commission is not paid where the affiliate and buyer are the same person; Envato also discourages referring friends and family, since those referrals often don't meet the conditions that trigger a payout
ClawbackIf a transaction is later refunded or reversed, it counts as unsuccessful and the affiliate must return the funds via the Impact account
Important
Envato's public affiliate terms changed since the previous check: the affiliates page now advertises a flat CPA per Core, Plus or Ultimate subscriber rather than the 30%-of-purchase headline recorded before, and the old apply link no longer resolves at all. It still runs through Impact with a discretionary approval step, and Envato does not publish a minimum payout or a customer-facing incentive on its public pages.

What you would be selling
Envato democratizes access to professional-quality digital assets for creators and businesses
Envato is one brand with 1 product, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.
Everything Envato publishes about how the commission is earned and paid. A term shown as not researched is one Envato does not publish, not one that does not apply.
How it pays
Route inApply at https://www.envato.com/affiliates/; the Join Now button leads to an Impact media-partner signup, and referral links, tracking and payouts all run through the resulting Impact account rather than a separate Envato dashboard

Where it paysOpen to any country except U.S.-sanctioned countries and anyone on the U.S. Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals list; Envato can also decline payment where local banking or legal rules block it, or where the payment recipient is otherwise prohibited by law (no country-by-country list is published)
ApprovalDiscretionary manual review: Envato may accept or reject an application at its sole discretion, based on criteria that can include whether the applicant's information is verifiable, whether they can show ownership of the affiliate website, the quality of that website, and whether it complies with the program terms; no processing-time is stated

Product decomposition and pricing read from https://affiliate.envato.com, https://envato.com.
Researched 24 August 2026.
Attribution window, payout terms and approval time researched on August 26, 2026.
On September 27, 2026, re-checked https://www.envato.com/affiliates/ and https://www.envato.com/affiliates/envato-affiliates-payout-process/: confirmed the 90-day first-click cookie, monthly payout on the 16th, and that funds land in the affiliate's Impact account. Attempts to reach the Envato/Elements/Market help-center articles for further detail were blocked by a Cloudflare challenge, so minimum payout and whether the affiliate must already be an Envato customer stayed unfilled; third-party aggregator claims (e.g. a flat $50 minimum) were not used since they are unverifiable against Envato's own site.
The application link https://affiliate.envato.com from earlier passes returned no DNS record when checked directly on September 27, 2026, so the top-level application link and the route-in mechanic were both replaced with https://www.envato.com/affiliates/, whose own Join Now button leads to the Impact media-partner signup for the Envato-Elements brand campaign.
That same page, read again on September 27, 2026, now advertises a flat cost-per-action per referred Core, Plus or Ultimate subscriber (up to $20, $40 or $80 a month for the first three months, or a one-time $120, $250 or $500 on an annual plan) rather than the 30%-of-purchase headline recorded earlier, so the top-level payout line, its short summary, the pitch line and the customer-incentive note were rewritten to match, and the numeric commission rate was cleared since the current page states no percentage.
A no-nonsense guide titled Envato Affiliate Program General Terms, dated March 2020 and still linked from the live affiliates page at https://elements.envato.com/learn/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Envato_Affiliate_Program_General_Terms_-_March_2020_1.pdf, was read directly on September 27, 2026, and used to write the Approval and Duration mechanics for the first time and to rewrite Self-referral and Clawback with its exact conditions rather than the softer wording used before.
That same guide states the program excludes U.S.-sanctioned countries and anyone on the Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals list, which is what the mechanics row asking which countries the program will pay into is meant to hold; the row previously carried payment-routing detail that belonged under Payout form instead, so it was rewritten, and the record's own top-level country field was corrected from US to Global to match.
The one remaining open question going into this pass was the customer's own incentive. Both https://www.envato.com/affiliates/ and the payout-process page were read again for it on September 27, 2026, and neither states any discount, credit or bonus for the person a link refers, so that field was left empty with the read date and page kept as evidence the question was actually asked.
A separate unfiled note describing the Impact sign-up asked the same thing the route-in mechanic already asks, so its content was folded into that row and the note itself was dropped.
Read, and not published
Envato’s own material was read on these and says nothing. That is the answer: a program that does not state a term is not bound by one.
