We use a top-rated third party platform, Tipalti, to pay our writers. You can log into your Radish Tipalti account HERE.

Payments are sent on a quarterly basis, typically mid-month. For example, Q1 (January-March) payments are issued mid-April. You will be paid as long as your earnings hit our minimum threshold of $50. If you haven't quite met that requirement, your earnings will roll over to the next quarter to continue earning momentum.

You can select your preferred payment method in your Tipalti account, update your preferences, and view your payment history.

Most major currencies are available through Tipalti. After you select your geography on the onboarding page, it will show the standard currency in that particular region. 

 

How long is the processing time?

The time it takes for the funds to arrive in your account depends on the payout method you have selected. After Radish releases the payout, it takes additional time for the money to be delivered to you.

Estimating Your Earnings

Our payment portal in Writer's Web will use the average coin value from the last 3 months and provide you with real-time earning estimates. You will see the total number of coins your stories are earning— in real time— and an estimate of what your payout will be for all of those coins. 

When we finalize the coin value after the end of the quarter, you will be able to see the status of the coin value go from “In Progress” to “Pending” to signify that we have calculated the absolute value of the coin and your earnings for that month will be finalized. All months from the current pay period will remain in “Pending” until we transfer payment to you. Once payment has been made, the status will be updated to “Transferred.”

 

Historical Earnings

To visually track the growth of your stories, you can filter the chart to a Monthly view of your coin earnings.

Choose the year you wish to view, and your coin earnings will appear grouped by each month - with color coded bars so you can easily see which months you have been paid for and which months are part of the current payment period.

Pro tip: You can download a monthly CSV file of a breakdown of your stories and how many coins each one earned directly in Writer's Web.
