What happens if I enable Advanced Payment and disable it right away?

If you enable and disable payment before the next payment, no changes will be made to your payment options. You will be paid using the default payment schedule (2 months delay). You can switch on/off advance payment at any time you want until the payment has been made.

 

Am I able to see the fee on the revenue page?

Yes. You will see the percentage of the fee applied to each payment.

 

How does it work for catch-up payments?

The service fee is only active when we have attempted to pay you with advanced payment. Once that is done, the service charge will stay regardless if you are actually paid or not.

 

In the first month, after enabling Advanced Payment, how will the payment be processed?


The first payment, after enabling the service, will include the last 2 unpaid months, but you will only be charged a fee for 1 of those months.
