Introduction
Rakuten Affiliate pays your commissions by PayPal, direct deposit (ACH), or check. Your options depend on your location and the methods available by network.
There are no fees associated with any of the payment options.
Currently, only accounts in the US and UK can change their payment method in the New Publisher Dashboard (Beta). Outside those geographic areas, you can set up or change your payment method settings from the Legacy Publisher Dashboard. View instructions for managing payment settings in the Legacy Publisher Help Center.
View and Change Payment Method
Organization owners, also known as master users, can view, select, and change the account’s payment method in the Publisher Dashboard.
Note
To make changes, the master user must access the email account used to sign up. You will be emailed an access code for each section where changes are made.
In the Publisher Dashboard, go to Account in the navigation header and click Account Details. In the Payment Method tab, click Edit Details. Select Check, Direct Deposit (ACH), or PayPal.
- For direct deposit, you must have your bank account number and ABA number.
- For check you must have your address filled in correctly. Check this in the General tab.
- For PayPal, fill in your first and last name and the email associated with your PayPal account.
Click Verify and Save when you are done.
You will see a pop-up message asking you to enter the verification code sent to you. Check your email for that verification code. Enter it in the pop-up box, and the change will be saved.
Direct Deposit Currency
If you select direct deposit, the payment is made in a currency according to your location and the network to which the advertiser’s program belongs. Learn more about how location and network affect your direct deposit currency.
Your bank may convert that payment to a currency it can accept at the current exchange rate for that day. For example, a publisher lives in France and selects direct deposit as their payment method. When that publisher receives commissions, we will convert the payment from US dollars and issue the payment in Euros. If that publisher’s bank account currency is USD, then their bank may make another conversion back to USD at their current conversion rate for that day.
We recommend following up directly with your bank for more currency and direct deposit information.

If you experience difficulty selecting or changing your payment method in the dashboard, contact Customer Support for assistance.

In order to set the payment method, you need to switch to the Legacy dashboard. To switch to the Legacy, kindly click on the 9-dotted box at the top right corner of your new dashboard. Here are the steps: Go to the Legacy > My Account > Account info > Payment Settings > Click on Edit > Edit and Save the details.
