How do I receive my payments for my applications ?

SlideME currently supports payouts via Paypal & Bank wire transfer.

The process for a developer to publish a paid application and receive payout:

1. Create an account on SlideME as a developer.
2. Stock your applications to SlideME's inventory
3. Choose if you wish to protect your applications with SlideLock
4. Publish your applications for resale
5. SlideME will issue a report on the number of applications sold, so developer can raise an invoice to receive payment.

Update: The new updated agreement process will not require developer to issue an invoice per Payout. The system will also automate payouts to your chosen account.

For our "Rate Schedule", refer to http://slideme.org/rate-schedule

The Payout dues, are based upon the payment method used by the consumer. This model has been implemented to maintain highest payouts to developer and to permit SlideME to adopt multiple type of Payment methods the consumer can utilize from any parts of the world or entity. Every payment method has its own processing fees. E.g, introducing carrier billing by X carrier, the carrier could set a fee of 20%. A prepaid card from country Y could have processing fees consisting of a % and a fixed rate per transaction.

Example:
An applications is published by the developer at a fee of $1.00
The consumer uses Amazon Payments as a payment method (fees: 5% + $0.05). The developer will receive $0.90
If the same application purchased via Amazon Payments and is sold to the UK since the UK has a Sales Tax rate of 20% VAT, the developer will receive $1.00 / 1.20 - ($1.00x0.05+0.05) = $0.73

**SlideME handles the Sales Tax complexities. With SlideME the developer is not required as set out in the Android Market Terms & Conditions to apply sales tax, collect the sales tax and remit to the country authorities the collected sales taxes.**

More details:

If you reside outside the USA, all SlideME will need is for you to sign a W8BEN form. This form needs to be sent to us before we can remit payment to you. This is quite a simple form to confirm to SlideME that you are a tax citizen/resident of your country and that we do not need to withhold any fees from your payout when paying your invoice.

We payout once you reach the minimum of $100 USD (request if you need a payout sooner*). We send you a report of sales and what is owed to you and based on this report you generate an invoice that you send to us, so we can remit payment to you. On this invoice you state how you wish to receive payment from SlideME, like a normal business transaction. Along with report, you will also receive a template invoice to assist you to format the invoice according to our requirements.

The process is very much like a normal business transaction. You provide us items to resell > we report to you what we have sold > you issue an invoice for your items SlideME has sold > we pay against this invoice.

For any applications that have VAT applied to them or a sales tax, we purchase your item minus this sales tax. The rate you wish to sell your application will be the final price to consumer. SlideME takes care of collecting applied sales taxes to customers invoices and remits accordingly to the acquiring authorities.

Further terms are in the developers agreement, when you upload an application.

Please note: The system does not yet automate and issue a report for when you reach the $100 minimum. Please contact us if you believe you have reached this minimum to process a report. This feature should be implemented so content publishers/developers can generate the reports on their own and issue invoices accordingly to SlideME to receive remittance.

* The payout limit set to $100 is only for keeping administration resources to a minimum and making it worthwhile for developer to receive the highest payout with minimal remittance fees. If you would like to receive payouts sooner, do contact us at SlideME and our friendly staff we will be glad to accommodate your requirements.
