Publisher Payout Process: Everything You Need to Know
Welcome to our Payout Guide! This page provides a clear overview of how our payout process works, ensuring you receive your earnings smoothly and on time.
1. Payout Basics
Minimum Payout Threshold: €50. If your earnings are below this, they will roll over to the next month.
Payout Frequency: Payments are processed monthly. Credit notes are generated at the start of the month for the previous month's earnings (e.g., invoices issued on May 1st cover April 1st–30th).
2. Payment Methods
Bank Transfer:
SEPA (EEA): Requires account holder name, IBAN, BIC, and VAT details.
SWIFT (non-EEA): Requires bank details and additional documentation. A small test transfer may be conducted.
PayPal: Provide your PayPal email address and preferred currency.
3. Compliance Requirements
Business Eligibility: Only businesses or self-employed individuals with a valid tax number are eligible. Private individuals are not supported.
Invoices: Invoices are provided in German for compliance with tax regulations. Most international tax offices accept them.
4. Important Steps to Avoid Delays
Update Payment Details: Ensure your bank or PayPal information is accurate and up-to-date before the 1st of the month.
Review Invoices: Once generated, invoices are visible in your suite. Report errors immediately if you spot any.
5. Handling Errors or Delays
Invoice Changes: Corrections can be made only before the invoice is transferred to our payment system (DATEV). Notify us promptly if adjustments are needed.
Payout Timeline: Payments are usually made 3-5 days after credit note generation. If there’s a delay, verify your payment details are correct.
6. Transparency in Transactions
Accessing Records: All transactions and invoices are stored in our cloud system and accessible for several months, allowing you to track your payouts easily.
