How to avoid account suspension on Ainfluencer: do's and don'ts?
Almost every suspension comes from the same small set of behaviours, and all of them are avoidable. Here is the list, and then the payment facts that usually come with this question.
The don’ts
Never take payment outside Ainfluencer. This is the big one. Off platform there is no escrow, so if the brand disappears your work is gone and we cannot help you.
Do not share contact details before the offer is paid. Emails, phone numbers, WhatsApp, Telegram and PayPal are blocked in chat until payment. After payment, sharing them is fine.
Do not send irrelevant offers. Read the campaign before offering.
Do not advertise other influencer platforms.
Do not accept a shipped product before the offer is paid.
Do not use offensive language, and do not behave maliciously.
Good to know
Links to ainfluencer.com, brandid.app and YouTube are allowed in chat at any time, and brands on the Ultimate plan can share contact details from the start. See which part of the terms applies.
The dos
Keep your insights up to date. Brands ask for them before paying, and current screenshots close deals.
Show past collaborations. It is the fastest trust signal you have.
Check the explore page for campaigns posted that day.
Make relevant, personalised offers. A thoughtful offer that answers the brief beats ten generic ones.
Stay responsive. Replying and closing deals is what earns invitations.
The payment facts, correctly
This page used to say Ainfluencer takes 20% out of the brand’s payment. That mixed up two separate fees, so here they are properly.
Two different fees, two different payers. They are often confused for each other
| Brand platform fee | Ainfluencer payout fee | |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays it | The brand | The influencer |
| When | At checkout, added to the total | At withdrawal, taken off the payout |
| How much | 25% / 20% / 15% / 3% by plan | Normally 20%, set per payout method |
| Where you see it | The checkout total breakdown | The withdrawal screen, as Ainfluencer Fee |
| Refunded if the deal fails? | No | Not applicable, no payout was made |
Important
The 20% is taken from the influencer at withdrawal, not from the brand at checkout. Your wallet shows the full offer price; the fee appears on the withdrawal screen as Ainfluencer Fee, with Offer Amount and You Will Receive beside it, before you confirm.
When you can request a payout
As soon as a deal shows Payment Released. That is the only condition.
There is no minimum amount.
Money still in escrow cannot be withdrawn. It is not yours yet.
Each deal can be in one request at a time.
The app shows the finance team’s schedule, which is the 1st and the 15th, and up to 5 business days to be paid. Every request is paid by hand by our finance team, so treat those as the working schedule rather than a guarantee, and ask support if a request sits longer.
Why this helps you
The rules above are nearly all the same rule: keep the deal on Ainfluencer. That is not about control, it is that escrow only protects what it can see. A deal taken off platform loses the one thing that guarantees you get paid.
