Keeping your payment and payout methods current is essential for uninterrupted service and timely referral payouts on Baton. This article explains how to update your credit card for billing and your bank info for payouts.

Updating Your Credit Card (for Billing)

Your credit card is used to fund your Baton account and cover referral charges. To update or change it:

Steps:

  1. Log into your Baton Dashboard

  2. Navigate to Payments.

  3. Click on the Pay tab.

  4. Enter your new, or update your existing credit card details and save changes.

🔒 Security Note: Baton uses secure, PCI-compliant payment processors to store and process your card information.

How Billing Works Under the Prepaid Model


Baton operates on a prepaid billing system.

  • You maintain a prepaid balance in your account (minimum $200).

  • Lead purchases are deducted directly from your available balance.

  • Referral credits are added back to your balance.

  • When your balance falls below your preset threshold, your saved payment method is automatically charged to restore your balance to your selected amount.

This automated replenishment prevents service interruptions and eliminates end-of-cycle billing charges.

Updating Bank Info (for Receiving Payouts)

If you earn referral credits, Baton will send you monthly payouts by check or ACH. To receive ACH payments, you must provide accurate banking information via Melio.


​How to Update Your Bank Info:

  1. Watch for an Email from Melio (Melio.com) – Baton’s payout processor.

  2. Use the link in the email to set up or update your preferred payout method.

  3. Choose between ACH (recommended) or check delivery.

🧾 Note: Baton will require a W-9 form before processing any payouts. This ensures compliance with IRS reporting and allows us to issue your 1099-MISC at year-end.
