Epic marketplace and MegaGrants Payment method

Hey guys.
So I have a silly but simple question.
Is having a Paypal account enough to receive payments from Epic?
Or do I need to provide an account with IBAN and other information?

hi ,
The documentation is here
Engagement Payout | Fortnite Creative Documentation

Thank you very much for your answer.

in the “Program Requirements” it is written that:

    1. You must be able to receive payments using Epic’s current payment platform(s), Hyperwallet.

But this documentation is for “Fortnite Creative Documentation”. I was wondering if having a Hyperwallet is also enough for publishing content in the marketplace or receiving payments from unreal mega grants.

Hi,

When FAB Store launches in October 2024 Hyperwallet will be the only method of payment.

Just read the FAB documentation about registering. This clearly states you will not received payment if you dont have a Hyperwallet.

Devs cannot dictate terms. Epic tell you what the terms are and that is Hyperwallet.

Many Devs think everything will be the same but you are better of registering for a Hyper wallet now .

Well, there is still your county’s Tax system to consider, In the UK HMRC would insist that this is a bank account registered with a UK Bank.

So PayPal won’t be acceptable.
PayPal UK T & C forbid this practice as PayPal is an in-between . The Hyperwallet assigned to me is registered with a UK Bank account even though there is 0 in Hyperwallet.

Mega Grants will require lots of proof of financial transaction that you cannot get from PayPal

That is what I was afraid of “Mega Grants will require lots of proof of financial transaction that you cannot get from PayPal”. :sweat_smile:. I guess I can’t apply for any kind of grants then. Because even if I win the grant I would not be able to actually get the money. All I have is a paypal account in my name.
