Starting in Feb 2023, StudioNow will pay StudioNow Pro Members in 5 business days after the completion of a project for all StudioNow project invoices up to $15,000 per member per year. This means you will receive your payments faster, with no additional costs and no additional pre-approvals needed. You also don’t need to live in the USA or have an LLC to qualify—if you’re a member, you’re covered. Once you’ve reached your annual limit, you will still be eligible for expedited payout terms, but 5-day Lightning Pay will be unavailable.
Please note: Invoices over $15,000 will require special approval for early payment and may incur a small fee if approved. If you have invoices exceeding the $15,000 limit, please contact our support team for more information on the approval process before your project is completed.
Best Practice: If you are on a full-service project, please email your producer, remind them you are a StudioNow Pro member, and CC Dustin Harrison-Atlas when your project is completed to ensure fast payment.
We understand the importance of timely payments for our valued StudioNow Pro Members and are committed to providing you with the best possible experience. We hope this new payment processing update will make your experience with StudioNow even better.
If you signed up to use the previous iteration of Lightning Pay, serviced by our partner, NowCorp, you no longer need to submit StudioNow invoices to that portal.
