See How Much Money You’ve Earned

Wondering how much your hard work is paying off? You can easily check your current account balance at any time. The quickest way to see how much money you’ve earned is on the home page. From the home page view, click on the “Total pending” and “Balance” figures to see a more detailed report on each.

Another way to view your current account balance is in the top right hand corner. You can access the details of your account balance and more by clicking on the drop down menu. Here you can view details on your account balance, pending amount, earnings history, invoices, and pending actions.

When we run a promotion, we may offer you bonuses in addition to your commission payouts. If you want to know how much you’ve earned in bonuses separate from your commission payouts, you can do so by viewing your performance reports.

Your bonuses will show up in Impact as "Other Cost" (or sometimes "Other Earnings") in both your Performance reports (by Brand, by Month, by Day, etc.) and Finance Earnings reports.

  1. To see your bonus earnings, click the “Reports” tab in the main navigation menu. Click “All Reports” from the drop down menu.

  2. Scroll down to the “Finance” section of reports and click “Monthly Earnings”.

  3. In the “Monthly Earnings” you can see the “Other Earnings” column which represents your bonus amounts separate from your commission earnings.

Set Up Your Bank Account & Withdraw Your Balance

If you haven’t already, complete your bank account settings to ensure you can withdraw your earnings when that time comes.

  1. Log in to your Impact account and click on the three dot icon at the bottom left corner of the home page. Click the “Settings” tab.

  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the account settings page to see your “Finance” settings. Click on “Bank Account” settings.

  3. You have two payment method options and two autopay options to choose from:

    Payment Method Options:

    1. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): Select this option if you want to transfer your Impact account earnings to an eligible bank account through direct deposit.

    2. PayPal: Select this option if you want to receive your Impact account earnings via your PayPal account. Keep in mind that this option adds a 2% processing fee capped at $20 USD.

    Autopay Options:

    1. Balance Threshold: Select this option if you want to withdraw the balance in from your Impact account after it reaches a specified amount.

      • If your account balance is above the chosen threshold, the withdrawal will begin processing, sending the funds to your chosen destination.

      • If your account balance is below your minimum balance threshold, funds will not leave your account.

    2. Fixed Day: Select this option if you want to withdraw funds from your Impact account on either the 1st or the 15th (not both) of a given month. The withdrawal will begin on the day chosen, and if the chosen date lands on a weekend or bank holiday, the withdrawal will begin on the next business day. 

      • You must have at least $10 USD (or your currency equivalent) for a Fixed Day withdrawal to initiate, though you can raise this threshold during setup.
      • This withdrawal option is not recommended if you are partnered with more than one brand. If any brands fund their account after your chosen day, you will need to wait until the following month to receive your payout.

       

  4. Once you select your payment method and type of autopay, click the "Save" button to complete setting up your bank account settings.
