This guide covers how to set up billing, manage payments, and ensure smooth financial transactions for advertisers, publishers, and affiliates on the AdLuxe Network.
1. Why Billing & Payments Matter
A seamless billing process ensures campaigns run without interruptions and publishers/affiliates get paid on time. Transparent financial management builds trust between all parties.
Quick Tip: Always keep your billing information updated to avoid delays.
2. Billing Setup
- Add and verify your preferred payment method (credit card, ACH, or wallet).
- Ensure the billing address matches your bank or card records.
- Enable auto-recharge to prevent campaigns from pausing.
Best Practice: Use a dedicated business payment method for easier tracking.
3. Invoices, Statements & Taxes
- Access invoices directly in your account dashboard.
- Download monthly or campaign-specific statements.
- Ensure tax information (VAT, GST, EIN) is accurate to avoid compliance issues.
4. Spend Controls & Prepay/Postpay Options
- Prepay: Add funds before launching campaigns.
- Postpay: Get invoiced after campaign spend (requires approval).
- Set daily or total spend limits to stay on budget.
Quick Tip: For new advertisers, prepay ensures faster campaign activation.
5. Payouts for Publishers & Affiliates
- Set your payout method (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.).
- Meet the minimum payout threshold before payment is issued.
- Payout cycles are typically monthly but can vary.
6. Disputes & Adjustments
- File disputes for discrepancies within the reporting period.
- Adjustments may occur for invalid traffic (IVT) or non-compliant campaigns.
- Keep detailed records to support your case.
Best Practice: Check your reports regularly to catch issues early.
7. Payment Status Tracking
- View payment history in your account.
- Track pending, processed, and completed transactions.
- Contact support if a payment is delayed beyond the stated processing time.
8. Financial Security
- Enable 2FA for billing actions.
- Monitor for unauthorized charges.
- Keep payment details secure and avoid sharing account access.
