What has changed for me in the Partner Area?

The existing payment and tax fields in the Partner Area will be replaced with a single, unified field. This integration will streamline the process, offering a smoother and more user-friendly experience.

What do I need to do next?

To meet the new system requirements, all partners are required to resubmit their bank or PayPal details and tax documents. The tax document you must submit depends on your tax status:

• W-9 forms: For US citizens

• W-8BEN: For non-US citizens

• W-8BEN-E: For non-US companies

When do I need to submit all required data?

All partners must submit their updated bank or PayPal details and tax documents at the latest by the deadline for the upcoming December payout. Please ensure that all necessary data is submitted by 12/31/2024 to ensure a smooth process.

What will happen if I don’t submit my data?

If you don’t submit your required information, we will be unable to process your payments until you do so. Once your data is submitted, you will receive your payouts as usual.
