Account and Payout Settings

Manage your profile, security, and the payout details that decide how you get paid.

Your account settings hold two things that matter: how advertisers see you, and how your money reaches you. This page walks through both so nothing blocks a payout when you've earned one.

Prerequisites
A partner account
Outcome
A complete profile and a payout method ready to receive commissions

Profile

Your profile is what an advertiser sees when they review your application. Open Settings → Account to edit:

  • Display name and avatar — the identity shown to advertisers and on your partner pages. A real name and photo help your applications get approved.
  • Bio and links — where you'll promote (site, social, newsletter). Advertisers running manual review use this to decide, so a specific, honest description converts better than a blank field.

A complete profile is the single cheapest way to raise your approval rate — advertisers approve partners they can size up.

Security

Under Settings → Security:

  • Change your password — set a strong, unique one.
  • Sign-in email — the address tied to your account and used for important notifications, including payout confirmations.

Keep the email current: it's where account and payout alerts land.

Payout details

This is the part that blocks money if it's missing. Before your first withdrawal, set your payment method under the Payout tab (see Getting paid for the full flow):

  • Choose your payout method and enter its details accurately — a typo in a payout address is the most common reason a withdrawal fails.
  • Some programs require tax information before they release payouts. If you see a prompt for it, complete it early so a payout is never held up when you've earned it.

Verify it worked

Dashboard
  • Your profile shows your display name and avatar, and an advertiser reviewing your application sees the same
  • The Payout tab shows a saved payment method with no 'add a method' prompt remaining
If it doesn't work
  • If a withdrawal is blocked, re-open the Payout tab — an unsaved payment method or a pending tax form is almost always the cause
