How can we help you?

I have placed an order on Digistore24

Upload IRS form W-8BEN/W-9

Digistore24 asks vendors and affiliates to submit an IRS form (W-8BEN or W-9) in certain cases. This depends on things like the chosen payout method, the country of your address, and if you've earned $600 or more through Digistore24 Inc. in the past calendar year. This helps us follow US tax rules and make sure payouts are handled smoothly.

See Tax on earnings via Digistore24 Inc.

Please note
If we need the IRS form W-8BEN or W-9 from you, you will receive a notification in the dashboard and in the KPI tile Expected payouts. 

Attention
We cannot send you any payouts until we have received all the necessary information from you.
