The Influencer Payment Solution You’ve Been Waiting For

Brands and influencers are feeling the impact of COVID-19, from production capabilities to budgeting. With work being done in a very different way, Klear is centralizing an integral stage of the influencer marketing lifecycle to ease the stress of creators and marketers. Klear Pay is an in-app payment solution, enabling direct-payments and acting as your personal finance team.

How To Easily Pay Influencers

Paying influencers may seem straightforward, but often it can be one of the most overwhelming stages of the influencer campaign. Small payments, paying individuals rather than corporations, handling multiple currencies, and navigating international tax regulations are tasks that require time, manual data entry, regulatory understanding, and cooperation from finance teams. More often than not, the payment process becomes a huge undertaking simply because of the administrative tasks involved.

Payments are a component in the influencer campaign that can be heavily underestimated. Without a proper tool to handle every stage, you can easily get overwhelmed with tasks that seem straight forward but require time, regulatory understanding, cooperation from fiscal teams, and manual data entry. Such tasks include enacting small payments, simply paying individuals, not companies, handling payments in multiple currencies, and navigating international tax regulation. More often than not the payment process requires more time than it should simply due to the administrative tasks involved. 

Klear’s NEW INFLUENCER PAYMENT SOLUTION streamlines and centralizes the entire payment process, eliminating headaches and reducing friction. Klear puts the power in your hands by collecting payment information and automating tax forms including W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, W-8IMY, W-8ECI, W-4 or 8233, and providing real-time notification on the status of your payments. Klear’s mission to centralize all influencer activity now includes payments, so you can leave the technicalities to us and focus on what really matters.

Influencer Payment Methods

When running a campaign with multiple partners, navigating the payment process can present many challenges. Navigating different payment methods, deadlines, fees, or currencies requires administrative work that takes away from what really matters.  Klear’s influencer payment solution centralizes payment activity, lets you easily send mass payments, no matter the sum, at scale, and increases visibility and transparency. 

Our payment feature puts you in control of your campaign. It reduces reliance on account payables by giving you the power to efficiently process payments. And, our centralized payment log ensures all team members are updated. That means messy email chains are a thing of the past. We want to ensure that everything you need to run a campaign can be accessed from within Klear, and this now includes payments. 

Easily Manage Influencer Payment Process

Klear’s new payment solution doesn’t just support money transfers, it supports every stage of the payment process. Your finance team will love you.

Tax Compliance

Our new payment solution automates tax form collection. With our AI regulation detection capabilities, our tool identifies the correct form based on an influencer’s location and business structure. All forms are then digitized with the relevant information, and all data is aggregated to automatically calculate withholdings for annual 1099 / 1042-S tax reports. And, for non-US brands working with U.S. and Global influencers, our software supports VAT and ID collection. 

Tax forms Klear supports: Supports W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8EXP, W-8IMY, W-8ECI, W-4 or Form 8233. 

Streamline Collaboration

More than streamlining the payment process, our tool is easy to use for you and your influencers.  Influencers independently update payment and contact details, verify bank account information, and collect VAT and ID information. Additionally, influencers can choose their own payment methods, currency, and threshold to ensure everything runs smoothly.  

Payment Status Transparency 

Within the influencer payment hub, the status of each payment is clearly displayed to maintain transparency between both you and your influencer. If an issue arises with a payment, influencers will be notified without having to connect with your finance team. The value of providing real-time payment information boosts influencer trust and helps build lasting partnerships. 

A Better Payment Method For Influencers 

Many influencers act as the CEO, CMO, and CFO of their own personal brand. This responsibility can get overwhelming when it also requires managing your own finances. Our payment feature helps influencers eliminate payment friction and bottlenecks, by expediting the payment time from 90-days to 5-minutes.  

Additionally, Klear Pay acts as your own personal finance team. It lets you, the influencer, select their preferred payment method, putting you in control of you the process. We support 97 different currencies and 6 payment methods to choose from including; ACH, Check, Wire, and PayPal. Once payments are processed they are transferred immediately, and Klear sends real-time notifications letting you keep a record of your payment date, amount, and the payment provider. And, you’ll never have to stress about tax documentation, because we automatically generate and collect the required tax forms based on your location. 

Influencer campaigns are complex, but they don’t have to be complicated. Learn more about how Klear’s sophisticated end-to-end technology helps global teams streamline every stage of your influencer campaign.
