# Resuming activity requirement for Partners

On August 4, 2020, we resumed the [activity requirement](https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/getting-started/getting-paid#activity-requirement-for-payouts) to continue receiving recurring commission payments for referrals and Plus upgrades. If you are a Partner that receives recurring commission payments for referrals or Plus upgrades, please check the [Referrals page](https://partners.shopify.com/current/referrals) in your Partner Dashboard to understand how much time you have until you need to complete another activity. The activity requirement does not apply to ongoing earnings from app sales, theme sales, or any Partner activity other than referrals and Plus upgrades.
