Why do most partnership networks have limited payment options?

[Beaver]

From what I see, 99% pay through paypal or check. Paypal is not available here in Pakistan and our postal system is not reliable enough for me to use the check option.

If you compare to other online income stream networks such as CPM, CPA, affiliate, PPD etc. Most have at least 5 ways to get paid, like Payoneer, Payza, Western union, Bit coins etc so why don't YT partnerships offer more ways to get paid

Contact your network rep and ask if they are able to sort something out for you. Just because somethings not advertised doesn't mean they arnt able to do it.

Thanks mate

Which network is the nicest/most helpfull when it comes to that? Has anyone on here ever been paid via Payza or Payoneer? Is it possible to get paid via bitcoins?

Im pretty sure a few networks use Western Union, I think they dont use the other services because not so many people use them and it would cost them to integrate payments via all those services which might not be around for a long time. The others are reliable and largely accessible.

Thanks man

I have two more question: Most networks do WU wire transfer which means I'll have to create a bank account to recieve funds?(or is there any other way?). Is it possible to do wire trasfers to my mother's bank account?

And second. My cousin lives in the UK and has a paypal account. Would I be able to withdraw to his account or that would voilate the TOS or something?

 

[Michael]

I doubt withdrawing to another persons PayPal or bank is an issue unless written into their terms or support knowledge base. I cant say I have heard of that restriction before.

Because you need to put alot of procedures and extra processes in place to add more methods plus extra staffing/ associated technology.

Like how will you get the funds to the method, how fast will it get there, how much will the transfer cost, how much is the method's fees, who will take the hit on the fees, who will calculate what the amount needed to be sent (if the creator takes the hit on the fees) is, what do you do with a payment that fails? etc.

I'd say atleast another 10 man-hours per month per option plus 2-5 thousand on upfront development costs to integrate whatever API they have/ generate the payment files if possible/ pick up what payments went through versus those that didn't.

Some methods could be a nightmare
Like Western Union quite literally involves withdrawing 1000s of dollars per month because it is cheaper to do in-store and you cannot send payments over $500 online.
Then filling in a form per payment.
Not to mention then carrying all that money to your local vendor and getting dirty looks from people in the queue will you stand there for hours (multiple times as you can only send 10 payments a day & only one payment per person per day of up to $5000.)

A lot of networks allow western union and Bank transfer such as my own. so you should be able to find a network to pay you through either of these methods

Thanks again. This is good news for me. I will withdraw my earnings to my cousins Paypal account and he will send me the funds to Pakistan.

Thanks for the detailed insight mate
If I join your network would I be able to withdraw funds to my cousins Paypal account without any problems?(PP is not available in my country as I said above)

Thanks for the reply mate
Wait, you can just send the WU funds to an individual(without using banks)? I though networks use WU's wire transfer service. if true then another good news for me Also like I asked above, If I join your network would I be able to withdraw funds to my cousins Paypal account without any problems?(PP is not available in my country as I said above).

You can certain withdraw them from your cousins paypal, as long as you have an agreement with him then thats fine. Now how you will withdraw from him and be able to receive that money will have to be down to your own arrangements, but theres no harm in using someone elses paypal as long as you have permission and the according arrangements to see that money in your own pocket.
