Billing and payment process
ConnectAd uses a fully automated, self-billing system. Each month, a credit note is generated based on the previous month’s delivery data and sent by email on the night of the 8th. Publishers do not need to send invoices, as ConnectAd does not accept or process them. All credit notes and expected payment dates are available in the ConnectAd Insight interface, where payment statuses can also be tracked. Payments are made automatically to the registered bank account in accordance with the contractual terms.
ConnectAd Billing Process – How It Works
ConnectAd offers a fully automated and efficient billing system designed to provide publishers with clarity, reliability, and minimal administrative overhead. The following outlines how billing and payments are handled:
-
Monthly Credit Note Creation
At the beginning of each month, ConnectAd calculates the earnings from the previous month based on the verified ad delivery data. A credit note is then generated reflecting the gross and net revenues owed to the publisher. -
Automated Generation and Delivery
The credit note is automatically generated during the night of the 8th of each month. It is then promptly delivered via email to all registered billing contacts associated with the publisher's account. This ensures timely and consistent documentation for accounting purposes. -
Full Transparency in ConnectAd Insight
Publishers can access all issued credit notes at any time via the ConnectAd Insight Interface. In addition to viewing detailed breakdowns of each credit note, the expected payment date is clearly indicated, allowing for accurate financial planning and oversight. -
No Publisher Invoices Required
ConnectAd operates on a self-billing model. Therefore, publishers are not required to submit invoices, and external invoices cannot be accepted or processed. This approach reduces manual errors and streamlines the entire billing process. -
Automated Payouts According to Contractual Terms
Once a credit note has been issued, the corresponding payment is made automatically to the bank account on file. Payment is initiated according to the terms agreed upon in the publisher’s contract – with no additional action needed from the publisher. -
Real-Time Payment Tracking
To provide full transparency, publishers can monitor the payment status directly within the ConnectAd Insight Interface. This includes information on whether a payment has been initiated, is being processed, or has already been completed.
