Publisher Payments
In Swaarm you have the ability to create and manage payments for your publishers. Either you can create a payment for them or your publisher can request a payment in the Partner Platform. If you use Tipalti, a 3rd party payment service, you can have payments sent semi-automatically.
How to Create a Payment for a Single Publisher
Go to Publishers Overview page
Click the Payments Tab
Click +Create Payment and a form will pop up
Make sure you are on the Single Publisher Tab
Select the Publisher
Select the Time Period
You can also select Last Month for convenience
Dates are marked orange if the selected period was already billed or overlaps with an already existing payment.
Either enter the amount or click Calculate to pull the publisher cost from Swaarm
Add any Publisher Notes (shared with publisher) like the payment period or any Internal Notes (not shared with publisher)
Click Save
A Payment will now be created for that single publisher
How to Create a Payment for All Publishers

Set your Threshold for payments that will not be created for publishers that are owed less than the given threshold
For example, if you put $10, then any publisher that generated less than $10 will not have a payment created for them
Add an Internal Note if needed (not shared with publishers)
Click Save
Payments for all relevant Publishers will now be created
How to Create a Publisher Referral Payment
If you are using the Publisher Referral feature, then you can create payments based on the commission level.
Go to the Publishers Overview page
Click on the Referrals tab
Click on the Logs tab
Filter by time Period or Publisher
Select + Create Payment on the row you want to pay commission
This will then take you to the Payments tab and the Create Payment box will be filled out with all the necessary details. The internal note will also include a timestamp for the commission period and a comment that it is for a "Referral Payment".

You can click the box Publisher Breakdown to view details on that commission.
