TrafficShop payout methods and fees

Publishers request a payout whenever their balance reaches $50, by Paxum, PayPal, WebMoney or wire. Paxum, PayPal and WebMoney are processed within 72 business hours of approval, wire and USDT within five business days. Some methods are unavailable in certain regions or need pre-approval, which a US publisher should confirm before relying on PayPal.

Every payout carries a 1 to 3% surcharge depending on the method. Some older reviews still list Payoneer, which TrafficShop no longer offers to publishers. If an account earns less than $50 in any six-month period, or after termination, TrafficShop may charge a maintenance fee of up to $50 per six months. It can also ask for tax documents and hold earnings until they arrive.

TrafficShop site requirements

TrafficShop does not accept sites younger than six months, and reviews the rest by hand within two business hours. Sites whose ownership the publisher has confirmed go into a higher tier that advertisers pay more for than resold traffic.

Publishers can set a minimum price and send unsold traffic to a back URL. Traffic with no referrer is sold separately at a 50% discount to advertisers, so passing a referrer meta tag in the site header protects the price.

Popunder and skimmed traffic

TrafficShop buys popunder, skimmed, banner and native traffic on desktop and mobile. Popunder and skimmed traffic can run through a code or a direct link. Skimmed traffic is a visitor redirected to an advertiser after clicking a thumbnail, a common setup on tubes. The terms, however, ban traffic from gallery thumbnails, fake video players, 404 traffic and iframes, so a skimmed seller should get the accepted setup confirmed in writing. Referring a publisher or advertiser earns 10% of TrafficShop’s profit on them.

TrafficShop or JuicyAds for a US publisher

JuicyAds pays every Friday from $25 by PayPal or Paxum and offers ACH to US publishers, with no site-age rule. TrafficShop fits better when the site already has history and the publisher wants to pick the payout date.
