Step 1

What you have to do first of all is to sign in with your email or username and password. In most cases, it is the email address that is associated with your Payoneer account in which you have to sign in.

Without signing in, you won’t be able to request a payment. Remember that if you have forgotten your password you can always click on the “Forgot password?” option just below the password input box. If you have clicked the forgot password option, then you would have to enter your username or your email. In most cases, it is the email address that is associated with your Payoneer account in which you have to sign in.

After you type your email and click reset password, you would have to type your phone number for confirmation or the reset link would automatically have been sent to your mail account. This is only if you forgot your password.

Step 2

After you have signed in, click on the “Receive” tab and hopefully you would be able to see a dropdown box with the following options that are:

• Request a payment
• Global Payment Service
• Mass payout Companies

You should click on the “Request a payment” button which will take you to the requesting area.

Step 3

After you come to this section, you should select a payer from your contacts. This is only for paying to a person from your contacts. If you want to pay to a person that’s not in your contacts, you would have to add a new payer.

Step 4

After finishing the previous step, you should enter the payment details such as the currency, amount, date which you will be paid and a short description. The maximum amount that you can select is 100,000 EUR. The max number of words for the description is 250. The date which you have entered will be used for automatic payment reminders. The automatic payment reminder system will kindly give your clients a cue that a payment is due. This process is done by using 4 predefined dates that are:

• 1 week before payment is due
• On the due date
• 1 week after the due date
• 30 days after the due date

Step 5

After that, you can attach up to 5 documents to your payment request, such as a message, contract or work sample. This option is only optional and only fill it if you wish to. You can then click the “Preview” option to see the email your payer will receive. If you think that it looks good, you can click the “Request payment” option to send the request.

After sending the payment request, Payoneer will send an email to your client with the details of the payment.

Step 6

If your client has clicked the “Pay” option, your client will be redirected to Payoneer’s payment platform where he can pay the amount.

After your client has approved the payment, you’ll receive a confirmation and another email will also be sent to let you know that the payment has been credited to your Payoneer account. Your client that has paid to you will also be notified.
