Your primary account information, as well as your contact and payment information, are all controlled on the My Account page.
The following subjects are covered in this article:
Updating Your Account Information
You can update your account information:
- Log in to your ClickBank account.
- Click the Settings tab.
- Click My Account.
- Find the section in which you want to edit your information, then click Edit in the upper right corner of the section.
- Update the information. The Information Categories section specifies what fields can be updated.
- Click Save Changes.
For security reasons, certain changes you make in your account require an email confirmation and prevent you from making other changes within a seven day period. Specifically, if you change your account email, payee name, or street address a confirmation email will be sent to the Account Email address listed in your account. You must locate the email and click on the included confirmation link to confirm the changes you made.
These emails will be sent from noreply@clickbank.com, and contain a link you must click to verify the changes. If you have attempted to make a change and have not received the confirmation email, verify that your spam controls are not preventing the message from being received.
NOTE – Your account nickname cannot be changed once you have created your account. See the Account Nickname article for more information.
Information Categories
Your account information is organized into the following categories:
Account Information
Your account information includes your payee name, your address, and your tax ID. Checks are issued to your payee name and mailed to the address you provide. More information about providing a taxpayer ID number is available in our Accounting Policy.
The account information section includes the following information:
- Payee Name – This is a business or individual name. When ClickBank makes a payment for your account, this payment is made out to the Payee Name.
If you change the Payee Name, you must agree to the Client Contract again.
Changing this field requires an email confirmation.
If you change this field, you will not be able to change your payment information, including payment method, for seven days. - Address – This is your physical address, or the physical address of your business.
Changing this field requires an email confirmation.
If you change this field, you will not be able to change your payment information, including payment method and payee name, for seven days. - Tax ID – A Tax ID is required for US affiliates making more than $600 a year.
- Account Password – You can use the Change Password link here to reset your account password.
- Account Survey – You can use the Update Survey Information link here to update the account survey. The account survey contains information about how you plan to use the account, how much experience you have, how wide of an audience you reach, and what product categories you plan to sell or promote.
Contact Information
The contact information section includes several pieces of identifying information:
- First Name and Last Name – Your full name. The name you provide is used only for correspondence with ClickBank employees.
- Account Email – Used only for correspondence between you and ClickBank unless you do not enter any additional email addresses, in which case it is used as the default email address for all correspondence.
Changing this field requires an email confirmation.
If you change this field, you will not be able to change your payment information, including payment method and payee name, for seven days. - Account Phone – This phone number is only used for correspondence between you and ClickBank (it is not provided to customers).
- Preferred Language – The language that we use for the user interface and email communications.

- Customer Service Phone (vendors only) – This phone number is provided to customers by ClickBank customer service if the customer has difficulty contacting you via email. It is not provided to the customer during the order process. Occasionally customers will ask for a phone number to contact a vendor for help instead of requesting a refund immediately. Providing this information could assist in saving sales that would otherwise be refunded.
- Customer Service Website (vendors only) – We will provide customers with this URL via sales, rebill, and technical support notifications.
- Transactional Email (vendors only) – We will send sale, refund/chargeback, and cancelation notifications to this email address. Some of these emails are customer-facing, so customers will see this email address. For example, refund notifications are sent to both you and the customer.

- Role – Emails that are related to the specified role are sent:

- Promotions and Offers – Promotional emails and exclusive offers from ClickBank.
Payment Information
Within the Payment Information Editor you can set your payment threshold and payment method. The amount you select as your payment threshold must be reached before ClickBank will issue you a paycheck.

This did not work. It's giving me a message that I have wait 7 days to update this information.
Thanks, paul rumbo
Paul,
Updating some of your account information puts a 7-day delay on other information. For example, if you update your account email, you will have to wait 7 days to update your payment information. This is intended as a security measure.
If you haven't updated your information recently and you're seeing that message, you can file a support ticket or contact us to get more assistance.
Sir, Can I Make sale in these 7 days? Or In these 7 days I can't promote any product? Please guide me. Thanks
Muhammad,
You can make sales and promote products during those 7 days. The only thing that's restricted during those 7 days is your ability to update your account's payment and contact information.
is the account name or id same as the account nickname?
Richilie,
Basically, yes. We use the term account nickname to describe the nickname that identifies your account and that you use when logging in.
I didn't see any edit button there how can I change my payee name? can you help me?
where is the settings button? It is not on this page?
Suhaib and DeAnna,
First, once you're logged in, click the Settings tab in the upper right portion of the UI. The My Account section should be opened by default, but if it's not, select it.
Then, find the Edit button on the right side of each box. For example, if you follow the "Account Information" header bar over, you'll see the Edit button on the right side.
Good day
Am trying to update my payment method to direct payment, but then my country is not among the list of those that are available. South Africa, how do I go about this?
Thank you
Accounts ko update kaise kare aur muje kaise pata chalega ki mere account manege ho raha hai
TRANSLATION: How do I update my accounts, and how do I know that my account is being considered?
Gladwin,
You can take a look at the Accounting Policy to see a list of the supported countries for direct deposit. If you don't see your country there, you'll have to select a different payment method.
Raj,
This page describes how to update your account information. If your account has been created, then it is active and you can edit it.

You'd have to talk to your bank to make sure, but if they're able to process checks issued from the US, they should be able to handle our check.
hey
How are you my name is Richardo and i am a new affiliate, I've have my account from about 3 months and just started using it today.. However, i changed my password because i couldn't remember it. If i make a sale will I still get paid for it?
Richardo,
Yes, you'll still receive credit for a sale that you drive, as long as the customer used your HopLink. Changing your account information won't impact that.
what is ext beside phone number field?
Kevin,
It's extension. Some folks have different departments that share a top-level phone number but use different extensions.
Hi,
To which email should send ID copy in order to validate affiliate account to start promoting and getting paid?
Can we change our account nickname? I didn't know at the time of creating it that it would actually be in the referral URL for the product. I don't like that and wish to change it.
Aleksandr,
If ClickBank needs any information from you in order to activate your account, we should tell you where to send that information. You can take a look at the Signing Up For a ClickBank Account article for more information.
Melissa,
You cannot change your account nickname. If you haven't launched any products yet, you can always create a new account with an account nickname that's more to your liking.
i cant find the settings or My account so i can find my clickBank id
Laura,
Your "ClickBank ID" is just another term for your account nickname, which you use to log in.
How can I change my username?
Talis,
Your account nickname can't be changed.
