Note: Spotify Payouts is only available to creators using Automated ads. If you’re eligible, you’ll receive an email prompting you to set up Spotify Payouts.
For Automated ads, monthly earnings are automatically paid out through Spotify Payouts once you hit our minimum payout threshold. Spotify Payouts uses PayPal’s Hyperwallet service as a payment provider. Anchor uses Spotify Payouts to handle payments for Automated Ads and Stripe to handle payments for other monetization products.
In order to earn with Spotify Payouts, creators will need to link their Spotify account (anyone can create a free Spotify account) to Anchor, as well as complete Spotify Payouts onboarding steps.
