How does Lionize’s payment process work? When am I billed and when are the influencers paid?

Once an influencer fulfills all contract requirements, Lionize handles the payments on both sides using this process: 

  • Once influencers have met all contract requirements, you will be notified in app. This will trigger their 7-day review prior.
    • You can proactively confirm an influencer's content is correct and/or flag any concerns by clicking "Scheduled" in the Payments column in the Influencers > Accepted tab.

  • Each week, we batch all influencers that have met all contract requirements. 
  • Each Friday, the brand will receive an email from no-reply@lionize.ai which will include an invoice and receipt detailing each influencer who has completed content in the previous week.  
  • This invoice will be processed automatically by Stripe on Tuesdays at 10am EST, via the payment method you have on file for your monthly Lionize subscription.  
    • Once the invoice has been paid, the "Payment" column will be updated to "Processing" in the Influencer tracker under Influencers>Accepted. 
  • Lionize will then process payment to the influencer the following Friday (~8 Business Days later) at 11am EST, via PayPal. 
    • Once the influencer has been paid, the "Payment" column will be updated to "Paid" in the Influencer tracker under Influencers>Accepted. 
To see this in real-time, all Lionize payment history is visible in your Lionize account under Billing.
