Benefits of linking Payoneer to Amazon KDP

Undoubtedly, you may have multiple options to get paid from Amazon KDP like me. For example, my priority was to get paid in a crypto wallet which wasn’t a good decision due to multiple complications. Then, I researched a lot and found Payoneer a good choice among different other methods.

Here are a few benefits of this bank account that I have found in my research.

Quick Payments

For an author, it is always exciting to get paid for their work. I am also in the same boat always waiting for the payment date to get payment of books sold out on Amazon KDP. Payoneer has facilitated me a lot in this regard because of its quick payment approval.

Normally, I had to wait for a few days to get the payment approved by the bank. But it has helped me get paid within a maximum of 48 hours of the withdrawal from Amazon. Undoubtedly, KDP has also assisted me and the authors by releasing payments for all types of books including medium content books.

Manage Different Currencies

Mostly, authors deal with the US when it comes to managing and selling books by Amazon KDP. But your sales don’t need to be generated from this region only as this platform targets the entire world. So, it might be possible that you need other currencies too in your bank account.

Payoneer is at the top of the list as it offers multiple currency management. It means that you will be able to have accounts with different currencies from a single window. In turn, you can’t even find a single hurdle in your way when it comes to managing and getting paid from different Amazon accounts (if you have country-specific).

Easy to Manage Payment Mode

Keeping a record of what I have earned and what is in the pending condition is the must-have thing I always consider. It was hard for me when I was using other payment channels as there was a lack of management options.

Payoneer and Amazon KDP (collectively) have resolved this issue for me as I can manage everything from a single window. It has helped me have an eye on what is about to come and what has come into my account. The only thing to consider is that I am getting paid in a legal way i.e., from Amazon KDP regardless of whether I am earning from KDP without writing or not.
