Publisher questions
Read before you list.
What does it cost to list?
Creating an account and submitting a listing does not require a subscription. The applicable platform fee is disclosed in the publisher workflow and recorded with settlement.
Can I decline an order?
Yes. Review the brief and service requirements before acceptance. Once accepted, cancellations follow the recorded order and cancellation policy.
When does a balance become withdrawable?
After the required delivery verification, customer review or applicable review window, and settlement controls are complete. Holds may apply when a dispute, chargeback, fraud signal, or provider uncertainty is active.
Which payout methods are available?
Availability depends on the currently enabled provider, account eligibility, currency, and rollout status. The publisher account is the source of truth; unavailable methods are not advertised as active.
Who controls what is published?
The publisher controls its website and decides whether to accept an order. The publisher remains responsible for lawful, accurate, and policy-compliant publication on publisher-owned listings.
