Introduction
Managing your earnings effectively is key to a successful partnership with Ezoic. This guide centralizes everything you need to know about our payment cycles (Net 30/60/90), setting up your payment methods, tracking your history, and troubleshooting common issues. For information regarding Tax Information, please visit this article.
Overview
Payout Schedules & Bonus Incentives
Ezoic offers flexible payment terms that let you choose between standard payouts or delayed payouts with a financial bonus. You can adjust these in your Payment Settings.
Payment Term Options
- Net 30 (Default). Earnings for a specific month are paid at the end of the following month. Example: January earnings are paid at the end of February.
- Net 60 (1.5% Bonus). Earnings are paid at the end of the second month following the earnings month. Example: January earnings of $10,000 are paid at the end of March as $10,150.
- Net 90 (2.25% Bonus). Earnings are paid at the end of the third month following the earnings month. Example: January earnings of $10,000 are paid at the end of April as $10,225.
Note on Bonuses: Bonuses are calculated on Ezoic earnings only (excluding AdSense Mediation). To allow for flexibility, bonuses appear in your history as they are earned, even if you switch terms mid-cycle.
Requirements to Receive Payment
To ensure your payment is initiated on the 27th of the month, you must meet the following criteria:
- Minimum Threshold. You must have earned at least $20 USD in total finalized earnings from previous months. If your finalized balance is under $20, it will automatically roll over and accumulate until the threshold is met.
- The 15th Deadline. Any changes to your Tax Information or Payment Method must be submitted by the 15th of the month to take effect for that month's payout cycle.
- Custom Thresholds. While the default minimum is $20, you can manually increase this to any amount (for example, $100, $500, or $1,000) under the Payment Settings tab. This is useful if you want to avoid paying multiple transaction fees on smaller monthly amounts.
Supported Payment Methods
When you open Billing & Payments > Payment Settings and click into the payment method chooser, you'll see the Choose How We Pay You screen with each option laid out side by side. Here's what to expect from each.
Wise (Bank Transfer) — Most Popular
Wise offers the lowest fees among our supported methods and the fastest local currency delivery.
- Fees. Typically less than 1%. Bank transfers to US banks are free of charge. See the Wise fee calculator for the most accurate estimate for your currency.
- Delivery time. Funds often received the same day. See Wise's how long does a transfer take guide for more detail.
- Currencies. Payment sent in your selected currency. Available in over 45 currencies.
- Setup. No Wise account needed. Provide your standard IBAN or local bank details and Ezoic handles the transfer.
- Transfer options. Direct wire transfer, ACH transfer, or SWIFT.
Payoneer
Payoneer offers flexible options for receiving funds to a bank account or directly to a Payoneer account.
- Fees. Typically less than 3%. For automatic bank transfers, Payoneer applies 0.15% for CAD, GBP, EUR, PKR, and CNY, and 0.50% for INR. A $15 fee applies for receiving funds in USD.
- Delivery time. Receive payment within 0 to 2 days.
- Currencies. Payment is sent in USD. Payoneer converts to your local currency and supports 190+ currencies.
- Setup. Choose bank transfer or a Payoneer account. Direct deposit to a US bank account through Payoneer is free. See How to use Payoneer for setup details.
PayPal
PayPal is convenient if you already use it, but it has the highest fees and slower delivery than the alternatives.
- Fees. Up to 4% or more, depending on currency conversion. See PayPal consumer fees or estimate with Wise's PayPal fee estimator.
- Delivery time. 3 to 5 days slower than Wise or Payoneer.
- Currencies. Payment sent in USD. PayPal supports receiving in 25 currencies.
- Setup. Provide your PayPal-registered email address.
Check by Mail
Prefer a physical check? Select Receive a check in the mail from the payment method screen. Please allow up to several weeks for delivery to international (non-US) addresses. Not recommended if you're outside the US.
How to Set Up or Change Payment Methods
To Receive Earnings:
- Click the User Icon > Billing & Payments > Payment Settings.
- Click into the payment method chooser. The Choose How We Pay You screen shows Wise, Payoneer, PayPal, and check-by-mail side by side with fees, delivery times, and currency support so you can compare before selecting.
- Pick your method and enter your bank or account details.
- Make sure your Tax Information is also completed in the adjacent tab.
To Add a Card (for Charges or Premium):
- Navigate to Billing & Payments > Charges tab.
- Click Add / Change Payment Method to register a credit card. You can set a "Default" card for automated recurring charges.
Tracking Your Payment History
Monitor your financial logs at Billing & Payments > Payment History.
- Combined Earnings. This view shows total revenue for all sites on your account.
- Invoices. Click on any payment entry to download a PDF invoice featuring Ezoic's details, your payee info, and the total amount for your records.
- Updated Monthly. This page is typically updated around the 4th of each month with the previous month's finalized totals.
FAQs
Why didn't I get paid this month?
- Finalized Total. Check whether your "Finalized" total from the previous month (not your current month's "Estimated" earnings) reached the $20 threshold.
- Tax Status. Make sure your tax form doesn't say "Pending" or "Missing Info."
- Mediation Factor. If a portion of your revenue came from Mediation, that money is paid by Google AdSense, not Ezoic. Check your AdSense account for those funds.
Payoneer Issues
- Switching Accounts. To change the Payoneer email linked to Ezoic, you must contact Ezoic Support to "release" the old connection. Once released, the Ezoic dashboard will allow you to link a new one.
- Setup. If you cannot update to "International Transfer," you must configure this within your Payoneer dashboard directly.
Wise & Bank Transfers
- Wise Account. You don't need to sign up for Wise. Ezoic uses their network to send money. You only need to provide your standard IBAN or local bank details.
- Timing. While payments are initiated on the 27th, international bank transfers can take 2 to 6 business days to clear.
PayPal Failures
- Common Reason. If a PayPal payment fails, it's usually because the account isn't verified or is restricted from receiving international payments. Please contact PayPal support to clear any blocks before asking Ezoic to re-issue.
