Were you wondering when your payment will arrive? We pay our Publishers on a on a monthly schedule. If your account balance reaches £50.00 in any month, we will send your payment before the end of the following month, provided there are no holds on your account. If you haven’t accumulated £50.00 in a single month, your earnings will be carried over to the following month, till you reach the £50.00 threshold. As soon as you reached the threshold or more we pay you out. Payday is the 25th of the month after the Publisher’s account balance has reached at least £50 and the money should be in your account 3 days later at the latest.

You can track your performance and earnings from the Reports tab of your account. Reports will display day-to-day details about how much you’re earning from the Shopzilla Publisher Program*. Find out more on how to understand earning reports.

Once you’ve qualified for a payment and your payment has been made, you’ll see it listed on this also in the reporting tab choosing payment report option.

Is an invoice required in order to receive payment?

Shopzilla does not expect you to provide an invoice in order to receive payments. You will be paid automatically if you have earned the minimum payment threshold of £50.00. If you are not located in the UK and are not VAT registered, then no VAT is payable by Shopzilla for Shopzilla’s Publishers’ earnings.

However if you are located in the UK and are VAT registered we will need you to send us an invoice.

Once your account balance has reached the minimum of £50, Shopzilla will send you a final earning report* during the first 3 days of the following month. You as a Publisher then have 10 working days to send us a valid invoice. Please issue a UK-VAT invoice in accordance with UK-VAT invoicing requirements. This invoice should show the net fees earned (provided by the final earning reports send by Shopzilla Publisher program) plus the applicable amount of VAT.

The invoice address is the following:
Shopzilla Ltd.
111 Buckingham Palace Road
London, SW1W 0SR

Invoices can be send by post, email or fax. Only on receipt of the VAT invoice Shopzilla will remit the Shopzilla Publisher earnings plus the VAT charged to your account. If in doubt you should verify the exact invoicing requirements with your local tax office or with your tax adviser.


*Publisher earnings are subject to validation and adjustments. Portal reported earnings should only be considered as an estimate, which is why Publishers that are VAT registered in the UK will receive a report with final earnings amounts once they have reached the £50.00 threshold. Publishers should consult the Shopzilla, Inc. Publisher Program Terms & Conditions for more information.
