Payment & Compliance
How payments and compliance work when you collaborate through Influencer Spotlight.
How Influencer Spotlight Works
Influencer Spotlight helps brands and creators discover each other, connect and collaborate on campaign opportunities. Unless explicitly agreed in writing, Influencer Spotlight is not a party to the commercial agreement between the brand and the creator.
Payments are handled directly between the brand and the creator using their chosen external payment provider, such as Revolut, Wise, PayPal, bank transfer, Stripe invoice/payment link or another agreed method.
Each party is responsible for taxes, VAT, invoicing, accounting, employment-related obligations, reporting obligations and compliance with applicable laws in their own country.
Important
Influencer Spotlight is not a payment provider, payment intermediary, employer, agency employer, tax advisor, payroll provider or contractual party to the commercial agreement between brand and creator, unless explicitly stated in writing.
Recommended External Payment Methods
Choose the payment method that works best for both parties. Here are some popular options:
Revolut
Fast account-to-account payments, multi-currency
Wise
Low-fee international transfers
PayPal
Widely accepted globally
Bank transfer / IBAN
Traditional bank-to-bank transfers
Stripe invoice / payment link
Professional invoicing and payment links
Other agreed method
Any method agreed between parties
Why we recommend Revolut
For fast international creator payments, Influencer Spotlight recommends Revolut as one of the easiest external payment methods when both the brand and creator have Revolut accounts. Revolut may allow fast account-to-account payments, multi-currency handling and lower friction for international collaborations.
Revolut is recommended as an external payment tool only. Influencer Spotlight does not process, hold, transfer or guarantee payments through Revolut.
