Title: Shutterstock payout levels
Post by: arapix on August 01, 2017, 10:53
Hello,
I finally have reached Level 3 at Shutterstock :)
I passed 3k$ , I was expecting commission to upgrade automatically .
for example : subscription image to be $0.36 instead of $0.33
but they are still the old amount ?
my question , is it time matter , and this will be fixed ?

Also I don't know does the next level calculated by total lifetime earnings (including videos) ??
or only photos & illustrations ??

in this case , I didn't reach 3k$ yet !
please advice

The next level is calculated based on lifetime earnings, and yes, this includes all types of stock formats (illustration, photo, video, etc.)

If you reach $3K in lifetime earnings, the next level should be effective almost immediately, as far as I know.

Per Shutterstock, "Please note that it can take anywhere from 24-72 hours for all servers to update with the new earnings level, thus the new rate doesn't go into effect immediately after the threshold is crossed."

Yes, until you wake up to reality and crash into the wall :)
