# Step 5: Start Earning!

The first action you should take to ensure you can get paid is by completing your [payment information](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/how-do-partners-get-paid.md). To avoid any payment complications, ensure your account fulfills all the necessary [payment requirements](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payment-requirements-explained-for-partners.md). Once you drive a payable conversion, you’ll be eligible for a payout. The conversion path goes from conversion to payout, see more information on [payments from action to payout](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/partner-payments-explained-from-action-to-payout.md).
