Updates on TeeChip Rewards Streaks

For the most up-to-date profit calculations and unit sales activity (including cancellations), check your Profit tab. Your reward streaks are calculated using the unit sales activity as it’s reflected here.

Payout questions

How do I receive profit payouts?

To receive payouts, you must link your verified PayPal account to your TeeChip account. After linking, you have an option of receiving profit through PayPal, Payoneer, or wire transfer. If you live in a country where PayPal is not available, contact our seller support team at sellersupport@teechip.com to arrange a solution.

Your first payout could take up to 5 days because of the initial review process. Once approved, please wait 1-2 hours for your transfer to complete (except for wire transfers, which usually take 2-5 business days). You do not have to wait for campaigns to finish or for customers to receive their orders in order to receive your payout. Profits become available to withdraw 24 hours after you make the sale.

Profits are calculated using the following formula:

Profit = ( Revenue Base Cost ) * 93%.
