How do I fill in my payment details?
Discover the most-read articles
Your payment details cover two things: your business information, used to issue your invoices, and your banking information, which tells advertisers where to send your money. Without them, no advertiser can pay you.
Where to fill in your details
The full path: My account > Business Details, then My account > Payment Informations.
These are two separate screens, and both need filling in. The first one feeds your invoices, the second one gets you paid.
Filling in your business details
- Pick your Business entity: Company, Association, Individual or Self-employed.
- Select your Country. That choice drives the identification field below it, whose label changes from one country to another.
- Enter the Company name, then the identification number. In France the field is called SIREN and expects 9 digits.
- Answer Is your company subject to VAT?. If you answer Yes, the VAT number becomes mandatory.
- Complete the Business address, Zipcode, City and Phone.
- Click Save edits.
Filling in your payment information
This screen holds three blocks: your banking information, your PayPal account, and the payment method you prefer.
- In the Payment information block, enter the Bank name and the Bank account owner full name.
- Fill in your bank’s location: Bank country, Bank ZIP, Bank City and Bank address.
- Pick the Account number type, then enter the number. The field takes the name of the type you chose, so it reads IBAN number once you select IBAN.
- Complete the BIC/SWIFT field.
- Click the Save edits button of that block.
Choosing how you want to be paid
The last block, Choose a payment method with which you would like to be paid, offers two options: On your bank account or On your PayPal account. The method you pick is used first, provided the advertiser supports it.
Different details for one profile
If you manage several publisher profiles, each one can carry its own business and payment information. The form is then presented as optional: left empty, the main account details apply.
Fill it in, however, and those details override the main account’s information for that profile. The application tells you so with a message. So keep them up to date too, otherwise payments tied to that profile will go out on details you have forgotten about.
Good practice
- Check before you save. The application warns you under the Before saving heading: Affilae reviews this information, and in case of discrepancies your account may be suspended.
- The account owner name must be the real name on the bank account, as your bank knows it, not a nickname or a website name.
- One IBAN can only serve one publisher account. If yours is refused, it is already in use somewhere else.
- Review your details after changing bank: a transfer sent to a closed account comes back, and the payment is delayed.

Yes. Business details feed your invoices, payment information tells advertisers where to send the money. Filling in only one always leaves something missing.
The payment information screen holds three blocks, and each one has its own Save edits button. If you edited several blocks and clicked once, only that block was saved. Go through them block by block.
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Not every advertiser offers PayPal. When one does not, your funds stay pending until your bank details are on file.
The same IBAN can only be attached to one publisher account. If you believe you are entitled to it, after closing an older account for instance, contact support and they will check.
It depends on the country you selected, as the field label adapts. In France it is the SIREN, a 9 digit company identifier issued by INSEE. A link under the field takes you to the matching documentation.
Answer No to the VAT question. The VAT number is no longer requested, and the wording VAT not applicable, article 293 B of the French General Tax Code will appear on your invoices.
Yes. Every publisher profile can carry its own business and payment information. Fill it in and it overrides the main account details for payments tied to that profile. Leave it empty and the main account details apply.
That is the tax form, required to unlock your payments. The Access form link in the banner takes you straight there. The steps differ for an individual and for a business, and each case has its own documentation.
