Payments
Manage payout methods and see what you've earned
The Payments page is where you set up how you get paid and watch your earnings stack up.
CLIPPING supports three payout methods:
- PayPal
- USDC on Ethereum
- USDT on Ethereum
Each campaign pays in one specific method
If a campaign pays via PayPal, you can't get crypto for it instead. Save more than one method to stay eligible across more campaigns.
Adding a payment method
Click Add payment method
Pick a method
Fill in the details
- PayPal — email, first and last name - USDC / USDT — your wallet address on Ethereum
Save
The method appears in your list, with a masked preview, and Edit / Delete buttons.
Crypto payouts are final, and only on Ethereum
Wallet addresses can't be reversed once a payout is sent. Paste from your wallet (don't type), and double-check the network. CLIPPING sends USDC and USDT on Ethereum mainnet only — not Tron, BSC, Solana, Polygon, or any other chain.
Payments can't be re-sent
Payouts to valid details that you can no longer access (closed PayPal, lost wallet keys) cannot be reissued. Keep your details current.
If you've used CLIPPING before, you might still see older saved methods (other chains, Cash App, Zelle). Those stay around so existing entries don't break, but only the three methods above can be added now.
How earnings are calculated
| Structure | How it works |
|---|---|
| Payrate-based | Flat rate per views — e.g. **250. |
| Pot-style | Fixed pot split by share of views. Generate 20% of campaign views → receive 20% of the pot. |
If a campaign has bounties, each clip is either a regular submission or a bounty submission — pick when you upload. Stack earnings by mixing both across multiple clips.
For thresholds and timelines, see Rules.
Min views
Two thresholds gate earnings on most campaigns:
- Per-post: 1,000 views. Each post must hit this before its views count.
- Total: usually 25,000 views. Your combined views on a campaign must cross the campaign's minimum before earnings release.
Earnings breakdown
The main table shows your estimated payout per campaign:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Campaign | Name (clickable) |
| Clips | Number you've submitted |
| Views | Tracked views (only posts past the 1,000-view floor) |
| Standard payout | From regular clips |
| Bounty payout | From bounty submissions |
| Total | Standard + bounty |
| Min views status | Whether your aggregate has crossed the campaign's threshold |
If you're on a team, each row also shows the gross, your captain's commission cut, and your net.
A summary card at the top totals everything: Total estimated, Pending, and Paid.
When you actually get paid
Payouts are not instant. After a campaign ends:
Campaign completes
Staff review
Posts are checked for quality, rule compliance, and that they're still live and public.
Sponsor approves
The brand signs off on final payout numbers.
Payment is sent
CLIPPING processes the payout via the campaign's method.
Keep your posts public until you're paid
If a post goes private, gets deleted, or is hidden before payout, it can be disqualified — even after the campaign ended.
Estimated vs final earnings
The numbers on this page are estimates. They move up as views climb, and down if a clip is banned, removed, or fails review. The final amount locks in after staff and sponsor approval.
