Advance payments FAQs
How much do I receive in advance?
Your current and prior revenue performance is used to predict the amount that you’ll receive in advance, which will be approximately 70% of what you are due to receive for the entire month.
When are payments made?
The advance payment amount will be paid on the 15th of the month, or the earliest business day thereafter. The remaining amount due for that month will be paid out on the 15th of the following month (Net15), less the fixed 2% advance payment fee.
Example:
You receive an advance payment of $100,000 on the 15th of Month 1. Your total revenue from ironSource Ads at the end of Month 1 is $130,000. On the 15th of Month 2 (NET 15), you’ll receive the remaining amount due to you ($30,000) less the advance payment fee ($100,000*2%=$2,000), which equals $28,000.
Does the advance payment I receive on the 15th of the month represent the revenue generated until that day?
No, we aim to provide you with an advance for most of the money that you will generate over the entire month. In all likelihood, the amount paid out on the 15th will be greater than the revenue generated for the month up until that date.
How do I sign-up?
To receive advance payments, you’ll need to agree to the Terms & Conditions in this link. You can opt-in before the 9th of that month to receive advance payments for that month.
Is there any fee to sign-up?
No, there is no fee to sign up. Opting into the program is completely free.
Can I opt-out?
Yes, you can opt-out of receiving advance payments at any time by:
- Sending an email to advancepayments@unity3d.com
- Letting your account manager know via email or Slack
If you opt-out prior to or on the 9th of the month, you will not receive an advance for that month, and your payment plan will revert to your prior agreed-upon terms. If you opt-out any time after the 9th of the month, your payment plan will revert to the prior agreed-upon terms in the following month.
If you received an advance payment that exceeded the total payment amount you were due that month, the excess funds will be deducted from your next payment.
Is there any penalty to opt-out?
No, there are no fees or penalties associated with opting out. You are free to opt-in for advance payments for one month, opt-out for the following month, and opt back in in a subsequent month.
Will I be able to see the advance payment made on the platform?
Yes, you will see the advance payment on the platform as soon as it is executed. There will be no need for you to approve the advance payment. At the closing of the billing cycle, you will see the full accounting for the month and can approve the bill in the same manner that it is done today.
Does Unity take any equity for this financing?
No. Unity does not take any equity for the advance payments.
