At HilltopAds, we use a NET7 payment model to ensure that our publishers receive their earnings in a timely and predictable manner and advertisers pay for quality traffic only. This article explains what NET7 means, how it works, and provides examples to help you better understand this payment schedule.
What is NET7?
NET7 is a payment term that signifies payments are made seven days after the end of the billing period. In the context of HilltopAds, the billing period is usually weekly, and the NET7 model ensures publishers receive their payouts seven days after the conclusion of the relevant billing cycle.
This system provides a reliable way to receive earnings while allowing time for necessary checks and processing to ensure accurate payouts.
Example of NET7 in Action
If a publisher earned $500 during the week of January 1st-7th, and $1,000 during the week of January 8th-14th, the amount of $500 would be paid out on January 14th, and amount of $1,000 would be paid out on January 21th, provided it meets the minimum payout threshold and all payment details are correctly configured.
Where can you check the next payout sum and a period?
At HilltopAds, you can access detailed information about each payout, including the specific earnings period it covers. To view this, navigate to the Payment history section in your account dashboard. Within the transaction table, there is a column labeled Period, which indicates the week for which the earnings were paid.
Additionally, just above this section, you'll find the Next Payment area. Here, you can see the scheduled date for your next payment, the earnings period it will cover, and whether the minimum payout threshold has been reached.
