When a book is purchased through our Partner Program, there is a lag between the purchase, and when we get paid.

There may also be refunds on Partner Program sales, just like with any ordinary sale on Leanpub.

Specifically, there is a 60-day hold on royalties from the date of reconcile, so something we reconciled in the last month won't be paid until at least 60 days later. (Again, the reason for this is that refunds can, and do, happen, even with partner sales.

(Similarly, we just did the reconciliation today for this month, and it will be paid at least 60 days from today.)

The purchases show up as paid purchases on the date they were reconciled. The corresponding free purchases are earlier.

This is a bit complex, we know. But there's no way around it: partners take time to pay, and they have refunds. We hope you'll view it as a nice bonus which gets delayed by about 3 months, and then you'll be happy!
