Not Seeing Medium Payouts. I haven’t been being attentive to my… | by Teri Radichel | Bugs That Chunk | Jan, 2023 | Raider Tech

I have never been being attentive to my common payouts as a result of not too long ago irrespective of how a lot I write or how many individuals clap or what number of followers I’ve, the payout is about $2.

That is so acquainted. It jogs my memory of the situation of my first information breach, the place I continuously obtained $2 after which my funds stopped.

It could be ironic or informal or one thing. Though on this case, I’ve nothing to do with the configuration of the web site. It is actually as much as Medium to ensure this stuff are working correctly or to inform the shopper if there’s one thing improper with the info the shopper has entered or an issue with the Medium and Stripe integration.

Making an attempt to determine what is going on on

Effectively, although it is solely $2, I observed some time in the past that I wasn’t getting paid. It wasn’t price worrying about, however not too long ago I began wanting round to see what was happening.

To start with, my tackle on my tax info was not updated, so I up to date it. I do not recall receiving a request for brand spanking new info at my main Medium e-mail tackle or the one on the tax type. I additionally do not suppose my outdated tax info would have brought on an issue for Medium. It could solely be an issue for me when receiving paperwork within the mail, which I by no means have, to my information, from Medium.

I searched all my emails for any emails from Medium that is likely to be associated to this tax type or Medium and Stripe. I do not see something to point there’s a drawback with my funds. Medium stories the quantity I earn every month by way of e-mail, although I do not see it in my checking account.

As I simply wrote, my weblog emails had been additionally not going out not too long ago.

I believe that’s already mounted. However it makes me surprise what different emails I’ve missed.

Additionally, I am unable to discover any emails from Stripe.

Effectively, I learn that with no correct tax type, chances are you’ll not obtain funds. It isn’t clear if I’ll obtain the funds I’ve not obtained thus far if the issue was the tax type. However I do not see the way it might be.

Cannot confirm or change the Stripe account related to Medium

I’ve one other drawback too. I am unable to see my Stripe settings on Medium or which Stripe account is linked to my Medium account. I went by way of all of the settings I may discover on Medium. The one factor I discovered was a hyperlink to the “Stripe Dashboard” which has a Stripe login.

Okay, however I do not know what e-mail I used to join Stripe. I’ve appeared by way of all my emails and I do not see any emails from Stripe. I attempted each e-mail tackle I may consider, together with each one that existed in my Medium account within the password reset possibility on Stripe. None of them are linked to a Stripe account.

I arrange a brand new Stripe account and logged in from that Stripe Dashboard hyperlink on Medium and I do not see something associated to Medium.

So my query is how am I alleged to know what’s linking my Medium account to a Stripe account? How do I do know if another person linked their very own Stripe account to my Medium account and is getting my $2 per 30 days? (Woo. Do not spend it multi functional place, hacker, if that is the case.)

I attempted looking for now to alter the Stripe account related to my medium account. I discovered a web page to use for the companion program, so I checked it out. I am already within the companion program. There was no hyperlink to change or specify my Stripe account.

I hope there is no such thing as a drawback with the Medium/Stripe integration. Troy Hunt simply had an issue with the Stripe integration, however I have never gotten paid for months, so it is in all probability not the identical drawback.

The opposite drawback is that I am unable to contact Medium as a result of the contact web page is down. I wrote about it right here. I am unsure if it will another area moreover Medium.com or if that a part of the positioning is on one thing I’ve blocked or what.

[Update: I figured out why the contact form wasn’t working — was in an incognito window. Submitted a request and hoping can get this resolved quickly.]

I could must name Stripe to attempt to determine get the e-mail for the account related to my Medium funds. It actually looks like there must be a approach to verify or modify this on Medium.

I may spend much more time looking and attempting to determine this out, however I’ve extra necessary issues to do proper now. I want no matter’s improper right here would magically be mounted and I might get my due funds. I am certain it will not be that straightforward.
