To activate PayPal or Payoneer as the payment method for your Udemy account, please follow the steps below:
- Move your cursor to your profile avatar at the top right and click on Payout settings from the dropdown menu.
- On the Payout settings page, select the payout method you wish to use by clicking on Log In for PayPal and Connect for Payoneer.
- You will be directed to the payment processor’s website, where you will authenticate and create a link to your Udemy profile. If you do not have a PayPal or Payoneer account yet, you can also create a new account during this process.
After you’ve submitted your request, it may take up to three days to receive final approval from the payment processor.
When your request is approved, the payment method status will change from Pending to Active, which indicates that you will now receive payment through that vendor. No further action is required on your behalf.
PayPal or Payoneer fees
You can review any fees PayPal or Payoneer charge on their respective sites. Payoneer’s fees can also be reviewed during the payment application process.
Payments
Payments from PayPal are delivered directly to your PayPal account, which can in turn, be transferred to your bank account. Payoneer payments can be delivered to your local bank account or to your prepaid MasterCard®.
Please review the respective sites for PayPal or Payoneer regarding any minimum withdrawal amounts that may apply.
Changing your payment method preference
If you wish to change your payment method in the future, you can do so, by following these steps:
- Return to the Payout settings page.
- If you currently only have one payment method active, click on Log In for PayPal and Connect for Payoneer, beside the payment method you wish to add.
- Once the request has been approved the payment method will be listed as Active.
Once you have established connections with each payment method, you can select which payment processor you would like to deliver your payouts at any time by clicking on the “Set Active” link. Active indicates that you will now receive payment through that vendor.
