Affiliate Payment Information

  • In the event that you earn $600 in commissions within one calendar year, we will issue you a 1099-MISC for that tax year. To do this, we'll need a W9 on file for you.

    To reduce delay in sending your tax documents, we prefer to get your W9 on file from the beginning of our affiliate relationship.

    You can use this fillable PDF W9 form to quickly create a completed W9 PDF: https://protospiel.online/formw9.

    If you want to be paid as an individual, use your social security number on the W9. If you want to be paid as a business, use your business' EIN.

    We recommend using Adobe Reader to fill out the form. Be sure to fill in all the required fields before electronically signing the document using the Fill and Sign feature.

    Since the W9 has some sensitive info, it will be safest to send it via the self-destruct file sharing tool File.io. The steps are as follows:

    1. 1. Visit https://www.file.io/
    2. 2. Click the Upload button
    3. 3. Choose your completed W9 file
    4. 4. Copy the link this creates for you with Ctrl+c on PC or Cmnd+c on Mac
    5. 5. Paste the link into the field below with Ctrl+v on PC or Cmnd+v on Mac
  • We use TransferWise to send ACH transfers as direct deposits into accounts outside of the United States.

    Since the required account information is sensitive, we ask that you share it using a self destruct link with https://privnote.com/.

    Different countries/currencies require different account info. Refer to this list of supported currencies to see the info we'll need for your currency.

    Include all of the following information in your self-destruct message:

    • Requested currency
    • Address
    • Account info as per the Wise requirements for your requested currency

    To send your self-destruct link:

    1. 1. Visit https://privnote.com/
    2. 2. Write all the required info in a single note
    3. 3. Click the Create Note button
    4. 4. Click the Select Link button
    5. 5. Copy the link with Ctrl+c on PC or Cmnd+c on Mac
    6. 6. Paste the link into the field below with Ctrl+v on PC or Cmnd+v on Mac
  • If you would prefer to receive payment via direct deposit, we will send payment via ACH transfer.

    Since the required account information is sensitive, we ask that you share it using a self destruct link with https://privnote.com/.

    Include all of the following information in your self-destruct message:

    1. Account type personal vs business
    2. Account type checking vs savings
    3. Routing number
    4. Account number

    To send your self-destruct link:
