How the payments to Influencers get Released
- Step 1: After you agree to a deal with the brand using the Offer Chat (Make sure you agree on all terms such as:
- The publishing date
- The duration of the post to stay live on your page
- The type and creatives themselves (as you have uploaded them to the Offer screen).
- Whether a bio link should be included or not.)
- The brand makes a payment and those funds are held in Ainfluencer Escrow for up to 5 days after the post has been published to ensure all the deal criteria are met.
Remember, one of the deal criteria may be leaving your post up for 1 or more days, so we need time to verify this. If the post is to be live for longer periods Ainfluencer usually considers only the first 48 hours to validate it. - The post can be published automatically using Ainfluencer’s scheduler, or manually. By yourself Using our scheduler is faster and easier for you and ensures you get paid faster.
- The funds get released into your wallet after the post is verified and up to 5 days is passed without any disputes from the brand side.
- To withdraw your funds, your wallet has to have a minimum $10.
- Go to the app and select WITHDRAW FUNDS from the Profile tab. Specify your Paypal email address and then select “Withdraw Funds”
IMPORTANT – Please do not go to the Offer Chat and start asking the brand to pay you for the post. They do not have access to your wallet and all payment-related issues are managed by Ainfluencer. If you have a specific issue or question, please contact support.
- Our support team receives your request and will send the funds to the Paypal account specified.
NOTE – Funds are typically held for several days so please be patient as we process your request.
Influencer Payments On Ainfluencer
As an Influencer (also referred to as the Sellers), you develop a custom Offer with Brands (also referred to as Buyers) using the criteria below, which are negotiated between you both using the Offer Chat on Ainfluencer. Once an Offer is accepted and the Buyer makes a payment, the success criteria becomes the formal agreement between you both.
Ainfleuncer’s Post Scheduler will publish the post on the Seller’s Instagram page using this success criteria, and will then verify that these criteria have been reasonably met. You also have an option to manually publish the post. Meeting these criteria is referred to as a Successful Post. Following the Successful Post, payment will be deposited to your Wallet as described below.
Success Criteria
Publishing Dates or Publish Schedule
Refers to the start date or date range for when the Buyer and Seller agree that the post is to be published on the Seller’s page. If a Date Range is selected, the end date denotes the last possible day in which the post can be published.
Buyer URL on Seller’s Instagram Bio Link
Refers to whether the Seller agrees to publish the Buyer’s campaign URL on their Instagram bio page url for the date range or duration of the Post.
Making changes after a payment is made
both Buyer and Seller may make changes to the Paid Offer after payment has been made. These changes must be approved before publishing which will be done through the Offer Chat and each party is will be notified via email and app notifications.
Publishing Duration
Refers to the length of time in which the Buyer and Seller agree that the Post must stay posted in a continuous manner from the initial start date, on the Seller’s Instagram page. For example, if the publish date specified is Feb. 14th, and the duration is 5 days, then the Post must stay on the Sellers Instagram page until no earlier than Feb 19th.
Creative Format
is the agreed upon format for the creative delivery of the Post. Options include:
Price
The final price is always the one that is negotiated between the Buyer and Seller in the Offer Details screen. Initial pricing or pricing from the Seller’s pricing table are used for negotiation purposes only and will not be considered a default price.
Exclusivity
Refers to the length of time that the Seller agrees to not post any other content on their Instagram page following the Publish Schedule start date.
If the Buyer and Seller wish to have multiple creative formats promoted
such as both a feed post and a Story. In this case, the Buyer should create multiple Campaigns and invite the Seller into each one, where each Campaign specifies a desired creative format.
Manual posting
In the event that a post fails using the automated scheduler, or you wish to post it manually for any other reason, then you must follow the steps to manually verify your post which will be provided to you via email notification. Failure to follow these steps may result in payment not being released to you.
