If you are in India – we only make payments via bank transfer.

If you are outside India, our preferred mode of payment is Payoneer. We encourage you to open a Payoneer account for faster processing.

We can also pay through Paypal via SmartCAT. Please make sure to enter the correct payment details to avoid any payments being held by SmartCAT. More details on setting up your payment automation via SmartCAT are available here.

Go to the Payout section on your profile and your payout method. Please ensure to fill in all the details, including the ‘Billing & Taxes’ details accurately.

Make sure you have enabled the receive payments option on Payoneer. To do this, you will need to talk to Payoneer support.
