How You Get Paid
Last updated: November 7, 2026
What this is
The payment schedule, the payment processor Audyence uses, and what to expect in each invoice cycle.
Key takeaway: You're paid your agreed per-lead rate for each Qualified Lead the advertiser accepts. Payment comes 45 days after Audyence receives the advertiser's payment (not 45 days after you deliver), through your own Stripe account, in US dollars.
Payment schedule
When you complete a Campaign Order, Audyence pays you for each Qualified Lead the advertiser accepts. The fee per lead is the rate you committed to in the platform when the Campaign Order was created.
Important: Net-45 from when Audyence is paid. Campaign Order Fees are paid to you 45 days from the date Audyence receives the matching fees from the advertiser, not 45 days from lead delivery. This schedule is set in Section 4.3 of the Publisher Terms and Conditions.
What counts as an accepted lead
You're paid only for leads the advertiser accepts. To qualify, a lead must:
complete all required fields with true and accurate information
opt in to receive an asset from the advertiser
meet the advertiser's filter criteria in the Campaign Order and Lead Generation Campaign request
Warning: Leads rejected for duplication, not qualifying, or non-working or personal email addresses must be replaced by the next delivery cycle or within 7 business days after the Campaign Order completes, whichever comes first. Replacements aren't paid separately.
If the advertiser cancels a Campaign Order
An advertiser can cancel or end all or part of a Campaign Order at any time without penalty. If that happens, you're paid only for Qualified Leads actually received and accepted before the end date.
Warning: Stop all work on the cancelled Campaign Order as soon as you get the in-platform notice.
Stripe (payment processor)
Audyence uses a third-party payment service to move funds. The Privacy Policy says:
Note: "The Services may provide functionality allowing you to make payments using a third-party payment service with which you have created your own account. When you use such a service to make a payment to us, your Personal Information will be collected by such third party and not by us and will be subject to the third party's privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy."
What this means for you:
You set up your payout account directly with the payment processor (Stripe) the first time you're eligible for a payout.
Bank details, tax forms, and identity verification live in your Stripe account, not in Audyence. Update them in Stripe if anything changes.
Payouts arrive by ACH (US) or the local equivalent Stripe supports in your region. Timing after release depends on Stripe and your bank.
Invoice cycle: what to expect
Stage | What happens | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
1. Lead accepted | The advertiser accepts a Qualified Lead in the platform. The fee is locked at the agreed per-lead rate. | Campaign Order detail page |
2. Advertiser invoiced | Audyence invoices the advertiser at the end of the Campaign Order cycle. | Not visible to publishers |
3. Advertiser pays Audyence | Audyence receives the advertiser's funds. This starts your 45-day clock. | Payout status updates in the platform |
4. Net-45 payout released | Within 45 days of step 3, Audyence releases your Campaign Order Fees to your Stripe account. | Stripe dashboard and the platform |
Important: You earn only the agreed per-lead rate. You aren't entitled to any extra fees, including Audyence's margins, commissions, or other amounts charged to the advertiser (Section 4.3).
Currency and taxes
All amounts under the Publisher Terms and Conditions are stated and paid in US dollars. Stripe handles any conversion to your local bank account.
Subscription Fees and Campaign Order Fees don't include taxes (value-added, sales, use, withholding, or similar). You're responsible for any taxes on your earnings or subscription. If Audyence is legally required to collect a tax from you, it appears on your invoice, unless you provide a valid tax-exemption certificate.
