You earn money on Billo by completing tasks for brands. Once your video is approved, your payout moves through a few steps before it reaches you. How you get paid depends on where you're based.
Quick summary:
US, Canada, and UK: Paid through Stripe, straight to your bank account, every week
📢 Creators in the US, Canada, and UK: Payouts are now sent through Stripe instead of PayPal. Set up your Stripe account in the Billo app so you don't miss any payouts.
How payouts work
When a brand approves your video, your payout goes through these statuses:
Earned at: Your video is approved, and your payout is being processed.
Clears at: +3 days from "earned at". Your payout is ready and on its way.
Paid out: Your payout has been sent to your Stripe account (US, Canada, UK)
Payout failed: Something went wrong with your payout. Check your payment details in the app, or send us a message and we'll help.
If an approved video and its payout disappear from your records, the brand may have requested edits, which moves it back to Pending. Once the video is approved again, your payout continues as usual.
All payments go through Billo, including reimbursements for things you bought to complete a task (like ingredients or props). Please don't ask for or accept payments outside the platform.
How do I know how much I'm earning and understand the Earnings Graph?
In the Billo Creator app, tap the Portfolio tab at the bottom of the screen to see your pending and cleared earnings.
The graph shows your total earnings per month.
Viewing totals: Hard-press on the bar for any month to see how much you earned that month.
Fully colored bar: The amount shown has already been paid out.
Bar with a broken line portion: You have cleared payouts (your video was approved and the payout is on its way), but they haven't been paid out yet.
View details: Tap View details to see which tasks have been paid out and which are cleared and waiting.
You can also go to View details > Earning details for a full breakdown of your payouts.
This helps you see what's already been paid and what's still on its way.

When you'll get paid
Once your video is approved, your payout moves to your Stripe account within 3 days.
Your payouts add up in your Stripe balance during the week.
Every Monday, Stripe automatically sends your balance to your bank account. It usually arrives within 1–2 business days.
You can check your balance, see upcoming payouts, and update your bank details anytime in the Billo app under Profile > Payment Info > View dashboard.
Billo covers the transfer fees, so you get your full payout. You can also choose which currency you'd like to be paid in when you set up your account.
Moving from PayPal
PayPal payouts are being replaced by Stripe for creators in the US, Canada, and the UK. Once your Stripe account is set up, your payouts will be sent through Stripe.
You'll see a reminder in your To-do list and an action needed label on Payment Info until your Stripe account is set up.
New to Billo? You'll be asked to set up Stripe after you're accepted for your first task.
What is Stripe?
Our payouts are powered by Stripe, a regulated financial infrastructure platform used by millions of businesses around the world.
When you set up your payouts, your ID and bank details go directly to Stripe. Billo doesn't collect or store your sensitive documents.
Stripe is licensed and regulated in each country where Billo pays creators through Stripe:
US: A federally registered Money Services Business with state Money Transmitter Licenses
UK: An Electronic Money Institution authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
Canada: A registered Money Services Business with FINTRAC
This means Stripe is legally required to protect your information, and it uses bank-level encryption to keep your details and payouts secure.
How to set up your Stripe account
What you'll need:
A mobile phone: Stripe uses SMS verification to keep your account secure.
Your bank details: So Stripe can send payouts to your bank account.
Your ID and other personal info: Stripe is required to verify your identity to prevent fraud and ensure financial compliance.
Steps:
In the Billo Creator app, go to Profile > Payment Info.
Tap Create Stripe account.
Choose your account type: Individual or Company (see below).
You'll be taken to Stripe's secure setup page. Follow the steps to verify your identity and add your bank details.
Once you're done, you'll be taken back to the Billo app.

That's it! Your payouts will start going to your Stripe account.
Individual or Company?
Stripe will ask you to choose your business type.
Individual: If you haven't filed paperwork to register as a business entity, your business type is likely Individual. This is the right choice for most creators.
Company: Choose this if you have a registered business, like an LLC. Stripe will ask for your business details.
Not sure which one applies to you? Check Stripe's guide: How to determine your business type and structure.
Good to know
If Stripe needs more information, you'll get a notification and see an Update button in Payment Info. Tap it or open your Stripe dashboard, and Stripe will show you exactly what's needed. Your payouts will be on hold until it's complete, then everything waiting for you will be sent.
Why can't I edit my PayPal email? For creators in the US, Canada, and the UK, the PayPal field is locked because payouts are moving to Stripe.
Bonuses, reshoots, and other extra payouts
Sometimes you'll receive extra payouts on top of your regular video payouts, like payment for a reshoot, compensation, a reimbursement, a bonus, or a referral reward.

Reshoots, compensation, and reimbursements: Once our team adds it to your payouts, it moves to your Stripe account and goes to your bank with the next Monday payout.
Bonuses and referral rewards: These are added in the first week of each month, then go to your bank with the next Monday payout.
How much am I getting paid per video?
Every task guarantees at least one video's payout plus the product itself (if any).
Anything extra, like additional videos, hooks, or photos, depends on what the brand ordered for that task.
If the task includes photos (4 photos), you'll get an additional $40.
