Get Paid as a Partner

Take the PXA course

Once you meet the prerequisites to be paid, your funds become eligible for withdrawal as soon as your impact.com balance reaches the minimum payout threshold of $10 USD (or the equivalent in your account currency).

The payout methods available to you depend on your account currency. See Supported Currencies & Timezones for the currencies supported for each payout method. Follow the steps below so we can deliver your payouts securely via your preferred payout method and schedule.

Submit the necessary tax details

Tax requirements differ depending on whether you are:

US-based or working with US-based brands

If you are US-based (or not US-based but work with US-based brands), an electronic tax document is required once your yearly earnings reach the IRS threshold of $2,000 USD in a U.S. tax year (January 1 to December 31). impact.com cannot release payouts to you until your electronic tax document, required by IRS, has been submitted and approved. For step-by-step guidance on submitting tax forms, see:

• Submit Your Electronic Tax Document as a Partner

Note: Make sure the mailing address on the form is accurate and up-to-date, as this is where your 1099 tax form will be mailed at the end of the tax year. You’ll receive an email once your tax form has been received and verified.

Non-US-based and working exclusively with non-US brands

If you're a non-US partner working exclusively with non-US brands, you're not required to submit an electronic tax document. Instead, ensure your tax details are correct:

1. From the top navigation bar, select [User profile] → Settings.
2. Under General, select Company Information.
3. Navigate to the Tax Information section.

   • Confirm that your Indirect tax selection and Indirect tax number are correct.

Keep your payment and tax details updated to avoid maintenance fees: If impact.com is unable to pay you for 6 months, a monthly account maintenance fee will apply starting in month 7. The fee is £25 GBP per month (or your payout currency equivalent) under the invoicing via an impact.com entity invoicing method, and $10 USD per month (or your payout currency equivalent) under the direct invoicing method. This fee is non-refundable and is charged until you either provide valid, updated tax or payment information, or your account balance reaches 0.

Verify your phone number

Verifying your phone number is a necessary security measure to allow two-factor authentication.

1. From the top navigation bar, select [User profile] → Edit Profile.
2. In the Basic Info section, select Enter phone number.
3. Select your country from the [Drop-down menu] and enter your phone number, then select Send Code.
4. Enter the Verification Code you receive by SMS.

   • If you don't get a prompt to verify your phone number, you can skip to step 3 below.

Address outstanding payment requirements

If your account has any unmet payment requirements, impact.com will notify you by email and display a banner notification on your dashboard. You must meet all payment requirements to be eligible for payout.

1. Check your dashboard for any active banner notifications.
2. Find the matching notification in Payment Requirements Explained for Partners and follow the next steps to resolve it.

Set up your bank details

Now you're ready to set up how and when you get paid. Refer directly to Set Up Your Bank Details to complete this step.

You'll choose between:

• Having your balance withdrawn to a specified bank account or a PayPal account
• Withdrawing once your balance hits a preset threshold (minimum $10 USD or your currency equivalent) or once you reach a fixed day in the month

Important: Whenever you update your bank details in impact.com, as a security measure, a 48-hour pause is enforced for withdrawals. If any inaccuracies or security issues are found with the updated details, you'll get a banner notification explaining how to resolve the issue.

Understand what causes payment delays

Knowing what can delay your funds from reaching you is important. Here's what typically causes payments to come through later than expected:

Cause	Reason for delay	How long to resolve
Payment prerequisites being unmet	You're not eligible for payment unless your tax details are correct, any required tax forms are submitted, your identity is verified, your billing address is valid, etc. You must meet all payment requirements.	Differs based on the violation. Learn what next steps you can take to address the unmet requirement.
Making changes to your bank account details	We need to verify that any changes are legitimate and accurate so your hard-earned funds go exactly where they're supposed to.	It can take up to 2 working days for our team to review your changes.
Withdrawal date falling on a payment processing holiday	Payment processing is paused on major holidays throughout the year, and this can differ by payment type and region. View the full schedule.	Expect payment processing to resume the next business day.
Brand is overdue in funding payouts	Your brand hasn't funded their account sufficiently to cover what they owe you. The brand is still legally bound to fulfill the payment terms of your contract, and might be open to a make-good payment.	Dependent on the brand. Don't hesitate to reach out to your brand and keep track of your overdue payouts.
