How does it work?
1. Sign in to your Payoneer account.
Before you can start sending payment requests, you will be asked to provide information that verifies your identity and line of business. This is necessary to verify that your business is supported under our terms of service and to prevent fraud or identity theft. If any additional information is needed, we will contact you by email.
2. From the menu, go to Receive >> Request a Payment.
3. Select a payer you would like to send a request to from your contacts. If this is the first time you are requesting payment from this client, you’ll need to add a new payer.
Select the payer type – either company or individual – and enter the payer details, including the payer name, website URL (if you are requesting payment from a company), email address and the payer’s country.
4. Enter the payment details, including:
- Amount
- Currency
- Date by which you should be paid – we’ll use this date to send automatic payment reminders
- Brief description of what you are requesting payment for – your payer will see this description in the payment request
5. Attach up to 5 documents to your payment request, such as an invoice, contract or work sample (optional)
6. Click PREVIEW to see the email your payer will receive.
7. If all looks good, click REQUEST PAYMENT to send the request
8. We’ll send an email to your client with the details of the payment.
9. After clicking Pay Now, your client will be redirected to Payoneer’s payment platform where they can pay the bill. For a closer look at the payment process, check out this how-to for payers.
10. You’ll receive a confirmation email when the payment is approved, and another email to let you know that the payment has been credited to your Payoneer account. Your client will also be notified.
You can also track the status of your payment at any time, here’s how:
- Sign in to Payoneer
