A break amount is a minimum amount that must be reached in your account before payment is sent. The minimum for each transfer type is automatically set on your account, unless you have requested a higher amount. The default minimum break amounts are as follows:
Wire Transfer: $100 USD
Check sent via FedEx: $50 USD
Check sent via Postal Mail: $20 USD
To request a higher break amount, email the Contract Admin from the email address on file, and include your account number and break amount request. We are also able to set a week delay for any number of weeks; for example, pay out every four weeks once the break amount has been met. Once the number of weeks is reached, a payment will be sent if the break amount has been met.
Note: your gross income will show the total amount of money that has been processed, and does not take into account processing fees, holdback fees, or affiliate program payouts. To see if you are scheduled for a payout, you can run the Check Amounts report in the Admin by completing the following steps:
Clients: go to Reports > Accounting > Check Amounts. Select the date on both drop-down menus for the pay period in question.
Affiliates: go to Reports > Check Amounts. Select the date on both drop-down menus for the pay period in question.
To receive a payment through the system, you must meet the following criteria:
- Your account cannot be on hold.
- You must have surpassed your break amount, taking into account fees and payment transfer cost.
- You must have activity on your account for the pay period in question.
