Setting up your payment preferences:
Path, from the left navigation menu: ['My Details' section] > Payment Details
In order that we can make prompt payments by your preferred payment method you will need to specify your payment details upon first signing up the Spoken Network Partnership. To access the Payment Details screen, simply select the link, under the "My Details" section of the Navigation Menu, entitled "Payment Details".
Fig. 2.4.3.1: The "Payment Details" link for reviewing / changing your payment preferences:
This link will load your Payment Profile, which you can update as required.
Fig. 2.4.3.2: The "Payment Profile" window
The "Payment Profile" page allows you to view / change a number of different headings of information:
Remittance Currency:
The currency in which you would like to be paid. At this time the choice is limited to two options; $US and £GB. Please ensure that the account to which you are crediting your payments (be it by check or Paypal) is in the currency for your chosen payment currency. This will ensure that you do not pay any unnecessary currency conversion charges levied by the financial service provider you are using.
Make Payments With:
Here you have two options as to your preferred method of payment, from the Spoken Network system. You can choose either PayPal or Check. Depending upon which method of payment you have selected, the instructions below for each field may or may not apply. You will note that the instructions have a note in (parenthesis) following the heading to denote which payment system they apply to.
PayPal Email (for PayPal payments only):
If you have selected PayPal as your preferred method of payment, enter your PayPal email address in this field. The email address should be exactly as specified when you set up your PayPal account and will resemble the following structure: paypal@yoursite.com
Make Checks Payable to (for check payments only):
If you selected 'Check' as your preferred method of payment you need to enter the name of the account holder into which you will be paying the checks received. This is who the check will be made to.
Send checks to (for check payments only):
If you selected 'Check' as your preferred method of payment you need to enter the name of the person to whom you would like us to send the checks. Please note that it may well be the same person as the person to whom you requested checks be made payable. If so, simply re-enter the same name again. It may be, however, that you would like checks sending to another individual (perhaps your accounts staff) in which case you may specify a different name here. Please note that this will have no bearing on the person to who we actually write the check out... They are treated as totally separate items.
Use the same as profile (a check-box only visible if you chose 'check payments' as your preferred payment method):
If you selected 'Check' as your preferred method of payment you will see a small check-box next to the text "Use the same as Profile", as illustrated in the figure below:
Fig. 2.4.3.3: The "Use the same as profile" check-box
Address (for check payments only, and only if check-box, above, NOT checked):
If you did not check the 'Use the same as profile" check-box above (i.e you do not want to use the same mailing address for inbound checks as was specified in your 'Profile') then you may specify an alternative mailing address here. This is the address to which we will mail your commission payment checks (only if you selected 'Checks' as your preferred payment method). If you DID check the 'Use the same as profile' check-box, you do not need to enter any address details here.
Zip/Postal Code:
Like the point above, if you did not check the 'Use the same as profile" check-box above (i.e you do not want to use the same mailing address for inbound checks as was specified in your 'Profile') then you should specify an alternative zip/postal code here. Again, if you DID check the 'Use the same as profile' check-box, you do not need to enter any zip/postal code details here.
Country:
Once more, if you did not check the 'Use the same as profile" check-box above (i.e you do not want to use the same mailing address for inbound checks as was specified in your 'Profile') then you should specify the country to which your payments will be sent. If you DID check the 'Use the same as profile' check-box, you do not need to enter any country details here.
