Payments FAQ: Methods, Fees, and Troubleshooting

Summary

This guide provides answers to the most common questions about setting up your payment method, understanding fees, and troubleshooting payment issues. All payments are securely managed through our partner, Tipalti.


1. Getting Started with Payments

Q: Do I need to create a separate Tipalti account?

No. You do not need to register or create your own Tipalti account. All necessary payment information is managed directly through your Moneybox dashboard. Simply fill out the required information in the "MY PROFILE" section to get set up.

Q: How do I set up or change my payment method?

You can select and manage your payment options within your Moneybox. 

  1. Navigate to the "MY PROFILE" section.

  2. Complete all your profile and tax information.

  3. In Step 2 of the setup process, you will be prompted to choose your preferred payment method.


2. Available Payment Methods and Fees

SEPA Transfer

  • Who it's for: Publishers residing in the EUROPE/SEPA ZONE or those with a bank that accepts SEPA payments.

  • Payment Currency: Payments are always sent in EURO (€).

  • Fee: €0.50 per transaction.

Direct Deposit / ACH

  • Who it's for: This method is exclusively for publishers residing in the United States.

Wire Transfer

  • Who it's for: This is the standard bank transfer method for publishers residing outside of the United States who cannot use SEPA.

  • Fee: Up to €13 per transaction, depending on the destination country.

  • Currency Conversion: If you choose to receive payment in a currency different from your Moneybox currency (EUR or USD), a 3% conversion fee will be applied.

PayPal

  • Who it's for: All publishers with a PayPal account that can receive payments from France.

  • Important: The name on your PayPal account must match the name of The Moneytizer account holder. Payments to third-party accounts are not permitted.

  • Fee: 3% of the transferred amount. This fee is charged by PayPal and is the responsibility of the recipient.

  • Important: Payments via PayPal can only be received in U.S. dollars (USD). Please note that although the option to receive payments in euros via PayPal may appear in Tipalti, it cannot be disabled on our side due to platform limitations. For this reason, we kindly ask you to pay close attention when selecting the payment currency.

Note: If your bank is registered in a different country from your country of residence (e.g., you live in Japan but your bank is in Germany), please contact our support team at contact@themoneytizer.com.


3. Currency and Minimums

Q: Are there minimum amounts for certain currencies?

Yes, some currencies may require a minimum payment amount to be processed. If you select a currency with a minimum threshold, please ensure your payable invoices meet this amount. If not, you may need to select a different currency that your bank account can receive.

Q: What if my Moneybox currency is different from my payment currency?

Our platform operates in EURO and US DOLLAR. If your Moneybox is in EUR and you request payment in USD (or vice-versa), a currency conversion fee will be applied. If you need to change your Moneybox's primary currency, please contact support at contact@themoneytizer.com.


4. Troubleshooting Payment Statuses

Q: My payment status is "PAID," but I haven't received the money. What should I do?

The "PAID" status means the funds have been successfully sent from our system to your bank or PayPal account. At this point, you only need to wait. The payment is in transit and may take several business days to be processed by your financial institution.

Q: My payment status is "REFUSED" or "DEFERRED." What do I do?

This status means the payment was sent but could not be successfully processed. This usually happens because of incorrect payment details. Follow these three steps:

  1. Check Your Email from Tipalti: You should have received an email notification from Tipalti (check your spam folder). This email will explain the exact reason for the failure (e.g., incorrect bank details, wrong BIC, inactive PayPal account).

  2. Correct Your Information: Based on the reason provided in the email, go to the "MY PROFILE" section of your Moneybox and carefully correct your payment details.

  3. Report the Issue: Once you have corrected your information, navigate to the "Billing" section of your Moneybox and fill out the "REPORT A PAYMENT ISSUE" form. Our team will review your request and reschedule the payment.

Important: This process applies whether you were notified by Tipalti, by your bank, or if you just saw the status in your dashboard. We can only re-process payments once the status is officially marked as REFUSED or DEFERRED.


5. Compliance: Restricted Countries

Please note that due to European directives, we are unable to send direct or indirect payments to the following countries:

  • Pakistan

  • Russia

  • Belarus

  • Zimbabwe

  • Burkina Faso

  • Ethiopia

  • Cayman Islands

  • Kosovo


Why didn't I receive an invoice this month, even though I earned over €50?

Invoices are automatically generated around the 10th of each month for the earnings generated during the entire previous calendar month.

To qualify for payment, you must have reached the €50 minimum payment threshold during that previous month. If you have met this condition and still have not received an invoice, please check the following common issues.

Troubleshooting Checklist

1. Verify Your Billing Information The most common reason for a missing invoice is incomplete or incorrect billing information.

  • Action: Go to the "My Profile" section in your Moneybox dashboard. Please verify that all required fields are filled out completely and accurately. The system cannot generate an invoice if this information is missing.

2. Confirm the Earnings Period and Threshold Ensure you are looking at the correct date range to confirm your earnings.

  • Action: In your Moneybox, use the date selector to view the report for the entire previous month (e.g., from August 1st to August 31st). Confirm that your total earnings for that specific period exceeded €50. Earnings from the current month do not count towards the previous month's invoice.

3. Check for a Revenue Drop Alert For accounts created after March 1, 2023, an automated alert system is active. This system may pause invoice generation if it detects a sudden and substantial drop in revenue over several days, which could indicate a technical issue (like missing ad tags).

  • Action: Please check your email inbox (including your spam folder) for an automated notification from us regarding a significant drop in revenue. If this alert was triggered, it may have blocked the invoice generation.
