Payout policy
How and when clippers get paid, in plain words.
- Clearing. Clearing takes 7 days for views, 10 days for sales. A sale clears 10 days after it is verified: the day the brand has reported it and it has passed our attribution and fraud checks. Where we set a longer lock period for a campaign, it is up to 14 days, and the campaign card says so before you join.
- Refunds. The lock period exists so a refund or chargeback of the sale can be caught before the money leaves, not after. Once it ends, a later refund or chargeback does not change what you are paid.
- Minimum. The minimum payable balance is $20.00. Anything below it carries over to the next batch.
- Weekly batches. Payouts go out in weekly batches through our payout partner, by themselves: there is no button and nothing to ask for. If payouts are not yet open for your account or your country, what you earn keeps building up and goes out in the first batch after they open. Your balance page always says which of the two applies.
- Account checks. A payout above $50.00 requires two-factor authentication on your account. Identity verification, the payout partner's onboarding, tax details and the tax-residence check must also be complete before payout. Your balance page tells you what is missing. Waiting for one of these steps is not a hold under section 13 of the Terms.
- Holds and reviews. A hold lasts no longer than 30 days. We tell you in writing when it starts, with the reason, the accruals affected and what would resolve it. One extension to 90 days is allowed only while the outcome depends on a card issuer, an acquirer, our payout partner, or a law enforcement or tax authority request. We tell you in writing before the first 30 days end which third party we are waiting for. At the end, the accrual is released and paid in the next batch or voided under section 12 with a written reason. A hold does not change the verification date or restart the lock period.
- Campaign pauses and closure. Money already earned is not taken back because a campaign closes. New accruals stop at closure. Sales from earlier clicks still count within the campaign's attribution window and no later than 30 days from the pause or closure, whichever comes first. The same tail applies when a brand pauses its campaign. When clipbeep pauses it or it pauses by itself, nothing accrues during the pause, and sales made during it are not paid retroactively when the campaign resumes.
- Closing your account. You can leave any time. We pay any cleared balance in the next batch, even if it is below the minimum, and hold anything still clearing until it clears.
The full wording is in section 9 of the Terms for Clippers; holds and reviews are in section 13, campaign pauses and closure in section 18, and closing an account in section 19.1.
