What is the Adsterra minimum payout?
Let’s kick off with the most asked question:what’s the minimum payout for publishers? Simply put, it’s the smallest amount that is possible to get from your Adsterra account.
HOW IT WORKS:
You’ve added your website to Adsterra, sent ad impressions, and gained your first $2. This time, you can’t get your earnings, but when you hit $5, you will receive your first payout if the payment system supports this minimum amount.
This minimum amount will not always be $5; it’s defined by a payment system. Let’s go over this topic right now.
Where can you check the minimum payout?
Adsterra publishers have access to payment options right in their accounts after registration. On the vertical menu, find and click the Payout Information page (in English).
The list of payment systems available varies depending on your account type (self-serve or managed) and the country you selected when registered. For example, if you’ve selected Indonesia, you can use Local Bank transfers (in IDR). If you haven’t chosen a country, you will need to do this before moving further.
Next, scroll through all the methods, and you will see the minimum limit for each. Minimum thresholds are defined by the paysystem you choose. For Paxum, the minimum is $5, while for others like PayPal, it will be $25, for others, $100, and so on. Each method includes fees, so make sure to check these, as well. Visit our Help Center to explore all options for receiving and tracking payouts.
To start receiving payouts, choose one of the systems and complete the form correctly, as it will then be used for transfers. We’re going to scan through the options available in the next chapter.

Where can I check the payout date?
Payout period
Publishers get paid twice a month automatically in 2-day periods. You don’t need to create a request manually. Payment periods are 1–2 and 16–17 of each month, from 9.00 AM to 6.00 PM GMT. When these dates fall on holidays or weekends, payments move to the nearest business day.
Defining the period of the next payment
Adsterra offers you a clue to the next payment time. Navigate the Payouts page and check the amount ready for payout and amounts with pending confirmation.
You can define the day yourself. First, find the day when you reached your minimum payout. If it is between the 1st and 15th days of the current month, then the payment period will be from the 1st to the 2nd days of the next month. If you reach the minimum amount after the 16th day of the current month, you will receive your payouts from the 16th to the 17th of the next month.

What’s KYC/KYB? A must-have for a trusted ad network
Every credible advertising network will ask you to attach identification documents if you’re paid as an individual, or a certificate of incorporation if you’re a legal entity. These are called KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYB (Know Your Business).
KYC and KYB ensure transparency in communication and transactions. The Adsterra platform supports all necessary procedures and documents to process KYC/KYB :
- After logging in, click the Payouts page from your Adsterra account and click the UPLOAD DOCUMENTS icon.
- From the dropdown list, select Passport/ID Photo (or driving license). You will need to upload a photo file (not a scan) of one of the documents that identifies you.
Next, select the document subtype and upload the file. Click UPLOAD and wait for verification (usually, it takes 10 to 30 minutes).
Please note: identification documents can vary depending on the payment system, so take the instructions above as examples.

Which pricing models does Adsterra offer?
Adsterra offers multiple pricing models for advertisers, including Cost-Per-Mille (CPM), Cost-Per-Click (CPC), and Cost-Per-Action (CPA). Advertisers on Adsterra can choose from various ad formats while utilizing the CPM, CPC, and CPA pricing models, allowing for flexibility in campaign strategies. Publishers, in turn, enjoy higher eCPM thanks to CPA-based payments included in their revenue.
What traffic does Adsterra pay for?
Publishers can monetize web, mobile, and social traffic via various ad formats. Adsterra supports multiple ad formats, including display banners, pop-unders, interstitials, and direct links (Smartlinks), allowing users to choose the format that best suits their traffic.
Which ad formats send the highest payouts?
Adsterra’s ad formats are designed to maximize revenue for publishers, offering options such as mobile ads that display while a page loads, ensuring minimal disruption to the user experience. Pop-unders (Popunders) are one of the key ad formats offered by Adsterra, designed to be non-intrusive and customizable by publishers for optimal performance. They send the highest payouts, but are not the only profit-makers. Social Bar is a top addition if you need to diversify income sources, and Smartlink is a primary ad unit for social traffic monetization.
How to withdraw payment from Adsterra?
All payments are processed automatically, and you begin receiving revenues under these conditions:
1. You hit the minimum payout amount set for your paysystem.
2. You filled in the Payout Information form necessary for financial transactions, and it was approved.
It doesn’t mean you won’t have any funds on your balance if you don’t meet these two conditions. However, you will only be able to receive earnings from our network when meeting them.
Why is my payment information blocked?
Payment information gets blocked (temporarily locked) three days before and three days after each payment period. For some publishers who get weekly payouts, the payment fields are blocked every Monday and Tuesday. You can still download files with stats and previous transactions, though.
If you think there’s a mistake in the payment period or the amount transferred, you can message our Support Team in the live chat.
Why is my Adsterra balance blocked?
Payouts can’t be blocked by mistake if you haven’t violated our terms. You may think your earnings are blocked by mistake or for any other reason. But in most cases, this happens because you haven’t hit the minimum amount. As you remember, this amount differs from one paysystem to another, from $5 (Paxum) to $1,000 (wire transfers). Another case is when you see your payment info blocked: this only happens on payment dates to prevent rejected transactions.
