Breakthrough Apps issues payouts through Tipalti, a leading payment platform that ensures smooth and hassle-free transactions. Payouts occur in the third week of each month, but there is a two-month payout lag due to Apple and Google’s processing times.
For example:
Revenue earned in January → Paid out in March
Revenue earned in February → Paid out in April
Why Is There a Delay?
1️⃣ Apple and Google process payments on a 30-day delay – Revenue earned in January is paid to Breakthrough in late February.
2️⃣ Breakthrough processes partner payouts in the third week of the following month – This includes reconciliation and payment distribution.
What is Tipalti?
Breakthrough Apps uses Tipalti to issue payouts to all partners. Tipalti is a secure and automated payment system that simplifies transactions. During your onboarding process, you will receive a Tipalti invite—please complete your details to start receiving payments.
Tipalti Payment payout policy?
✔ Ongoing minimum payout threshold: After your first payout, we will only issue payouts once your balance exceeds $500. This policy helps us optimize for payment processing fees and ensure maximum value is delivered to you.
✔ Tax Forms: All required tax forms must be submitted and approved by Tipalti.
Until these requirements are met, you will not be considered payable by the Tipalti system. Balances will automatically roll over until the $500 threshold is met.
What Payment Methods Are Available?
Tipalti supports multiple payout methods, including:
ACH (US)
Wire Transfer (US & International)
International ACH (e-Check)
Paper Checks
PayPal
What Currencies Are Supported?
Most major currencies are available. After selecting your country during onboarding, Tipalti will display the available currency options for your region.
How Long Does It Take to Receive a Payment?
Once Breakthrough releases the payout in the third week of each month, processing times vary based on the payment method:
Domestic ACH (US): Up to 3 business days
Bank Transfer or International Wire: 3–7 business days
Paper Checks: 3-7 business days
PayPal: Within 1 business day
🔹 Weekend or Holiday Delays:
Most banks do not process transactions on weekends or holidays, so if your payout is processed between Friday and Sunday, it may be delayed until the next business day.
What Are the Fees for Payouts?
Tipalti charges a transaction fee based on the selected payment method. These fees are automatically deducted from the payout, and Breakthrough does not impose any additional charges.
Payment Method | Fee |
ACH (US only) | $1.15 |
Check | $3.45 |
eCheck (International) | $5.75 |
eCheck (UK Local Bank Account) | $1.72 |
PayPal (Non-US Resident) | $1.15 + 2% (Up to $21.15) |
PayPal (US Resident) | $1.15 + 2% (Up to $2.15) |
Wire Transfer (Non-US, Non-USD) | $23.00 |
Wire Transfer (Non-US, USD) | $29.90 |
Wire Transfer (US Resident) | $17.25 |
Foreign Exchange Rate | 2.50% |
Tipalti will display the applicable fees before processing your payment, so you are always informed.
When Will I Get Paid for My Earnings?
Payments follow a two-month delay based on when revenue is earned.
Earnings Month | Payout Month |
January | March |
February | April |
March | May |
April | June |
May | July |
This delay occurs because Apple and Google hold earnings for one month, and Breakthrough takes two weeks to process and distribute payouts.
