What are my options for receiving a payment? 

So, you’ve made your first few sales and now you’re wondering how payout works! Well, you can choose between many different payment methods! We are pleased to offer payouts by Direct Deposit, yoursafe (includes Check and Wire Transfer withdrawals), Paxum, and Cosmopayment. We’re always looking for new payment methods to make sure our Creators far and wide can access their funds!  

When do payouts happen? 

Payments from MV are issued automatically on the 1st and 16th of each month once you have met the minimum payout requirement.

The cutoff time to reach the minimum amount will be 7pm EST the day before payout and payment dates that land on weekends or holidays will be sent on the following business day. 

Depending on your selected payment method, most payout are received within 2-7 business days!  The table below shows the processing times for receiving payouts,  as well and the fees and minimum earnings needed for each method of payment: 

Payment Methods

To add or update your payment method, check out our article How do I add or update my payment method? including direct deposit, checks, wire transfers and we have a few prepaid options as well. US citizens will need to submit a W9 form before adding a payment method, click here to learn more.

UK Creators: Due to mounting compliance regulations on international payouts to UK bank accounts, we have experienced an increasing settlement delay after payouts have been sent (potentially 15+ business days). To avoid this delay, UK Creators may choose one of our available wallet option for a faster payment method.

If it's passed the normal processing times and you still haven't received your payout, check out the article: Why haven't I received my Payout yet?

If this is your first time adding a payment method, you'll be able to do so by:

1. Going to your drop-down menu 
2. Settings 
3. Payment Method. 
4. Next to Preferred method, select your desired payment method from the drop-down and input your payment information. Be sure to hit <Save> when you're done!

You are able to change your payout minimum at any time, click here to learn more.

If you already have a payment method setup and you need to change it or you would like to verify the payment information in your account, please contact help@manyvids.com. Please note that we cannot reset payment methods between 7PM EST the night before payout, and 7PM EST the day we send payouts.

On rare occasions, our Payouts Team may request screenshots or confirmation of your banking details.

For more information about payouts on MV, check out our article Payout information.

Your payout minimum is the minimum amount you'll need to have earned in order for your payout to be sent; we send payouts on the 1st and 16th of every month.  You can change your payout minimum at anytime you want!

How do I edit my payout minimum? 
First, go to your drop-down menu > Settings > Payment Method and click on 'View'


Here, you will see the option to set your new Payout Minimum. Simply, click next to the amount to pull up the drop-down menu and choose your preferred minimum amount; you cannot set your minimum lower than $50.
Make sure to hit <Save> when finished!
Please note, different payment methods come with different payout minimums,  for information, click here.

Payout hasn't arrived yet? Not to worry! In most cases it's just a matter of the payment taking a little extra time to be cleared by your financial institute and you can expect to receive it soon!

To confirm if a payment was sent, go to your drop-down menu > Earnings > My Earnings and hit <View> next to "Payout History". If no payment was sent, it may be that you didn't set up a payment method yet, or it wasn't set up in time; it could also be that you did not yet hit the payout minimum for your earnings to be sent. (Find out how to set-up or update your payment method here.)

If you confirm the payment was sent, next you'll want to see if you are still within the expect timeframe to receive your payment as per the chart below. Keep in mind, business days are Monday to Friday, excluding holidays and we send payments on the 1st and 16th of every month. If the 1st or 16th lands on a weekend or holiday, the payment will be sent on the following business day.

UK Creators: Due to mounting compliance regulations on international payouts to UK bank accounts, we have experienced an increasing settlement delay after payouts have been sent (potentially 15+ business days). To avoid this delay, UK Creators may choose one of our available wallet option for a faster payment method.

If you have waited longer than the expected timeframe and still have not received the funds, be sure to contact help@manyvids.com with the payout date of the missing payment and we'll gladly look into it for you. Rest assured, we'll make sure you receive your hard earned money!

Why does MV keep a percentage of the sales?

We strive to be the best and do all we can for the MV Community!  

ManyVids needs an entire team to run the platform, and we reinvest back into the site to offer all Creators and Members the best user experience possible.   

What does it take to run a platform like ManyVids? Upkeep and maintenance are the main areas that require a lot of upkeep and expenses; this includes payment processing and top-notch customer service. Customer service expenses include, but are not limited to, server costs, office costs, full-time staff, fraud prevention, and security costs.   

We also launch research and development projects to constantly push the boundaries of what MV can do for its Creators (new features, market trends, processes, services, etc.). Along with these campaigns, the team has a prominent marketing operation that works to promote all Creators on multiple platforms, including our social media accounts and other media outlets.   

For all Creators who are US citizens or being paid to a US bank account or address, you will be required to submit a W9 form for approval before adding a payment method.
