What is Tipalti?
Tipalti is a third-party payments solution that helps to manage tax documents and distribute payments to affiliates according to established payout guidelines.
To ensure timely payment of commissions, it is mandatory for all affiliates to have tax documentation on file with Launch You, regardless of their country of residence.
Setting up with Tipalti only needs to be done once, after which affiliate/ambassador commissions will be received consistently and on schedule between the 15th and 20th of each month.
The three main parts to setting up your Tipalti Account are:
Personal Information
Tax Documents
Payment Method
Get Started
First, log into your Launch You account and navigate to the affiliates area using the switcher icon found at the top right of the page.
Once logged in, you will see a banner at the top of the page that says "Set up your Tipalti account in order to receive commissions." Click on the "Create Tipalti account" link in the banner, and you will be taken to a four-step form to create your new Tipalti Account.
You will be prompted to provide the following information:
a. Address
b. Payment Method
c. Tax Forms
Next, you will be prompted to choose your preferred payment method, with options including: direct deposit, wire transfer, check, or PayPal.:
a. Direct Deposit
b. Wire Transfer
c. Check
d. Paypal
You will then be asked to submit a tax form, with options including W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other forms based on your tax needs. If you are unsure which form to choose, you can use the tax form questionnaire to help guide you.
Once completed this process, most US-based individuals or businesses will be confirmed "on the spot," and your account will be immediately deemed as payable.
Non-US locations may require alternate tax documentation and could require additional verification before receiving the "Payable" tag.
Once your account is set as payable, you will be eligible to receive payouts between the 15th and the 20th of every month, and you must have at least $100 in affiliate commissions to qualify for payout.
