Using the beehiiv Wallet

All beehiiv accounts on paid plans (Scale, Max, and Enterprise) include access to the Wallet. Located in the top navigation bar of your account, your Wallet dashboard allows you to track transactions and manage earnings from the Ad Network, and Paid Recommendations. To start using your Wallet, you'll first need to add funds.

Whenever you earn money through the Ad Network or outgoing recommendations, your earnings are deposited into your beehiiv Wallet according to the following schedule.

Ad Network payouts: Earnings are automatically transferred to your Wallet on the 20th of each month for all ad placements that ran in the previous month. For example, on March 20th, you would receive payment for all ad revenue earned in February.

Outgoing recommendations payouts: Earnings from outgoing recommendations are deposited into your Wallet as subscribers are verified. Once a subscriber passes verification, the payout is processed and added to your available balance.

If you downgrade your beehiiv plan or close your account, pending Ad Network and outgoing recommendations earnings will still be paid out on the normal payout schedule. The 20th-of-the-month schedule for Ad Network earnings continues regardless of subscription status changes.

Your Ad Network report is billed on payable clicks, a quality-weighted measure of eligible clicks rather than a simple pass or fail count, so it won't always match the click counts you see in your post performance reports. For a full breakdown of how payable clicks are calculated and why the numbers differ, refer to Understanding payable clicks in the beehiiv Ad Network.
