Sometimes, a payout you request in B12 Commerce will be placed in review.

Why are payouts reviewed

In accordance with B12's terms of service, you should not use B12 for nefarious purposes (e.g., fraud, impersonation, and abuse, among other disallowed practices). For payments, this most commonly surfaces as identity/account theft, fraudulent payment information, money laundering, or payment for illegal activities.

To help prevent such abuses, your ability to pay out will sometimes be reviewed by a B12 team member. This most commonly happens when you have recently provided new payment details, but it can also occur for other reasons.

If your ability to pay out is marked as In Review, no action is necessary. Your payout capability will be unlocked as soon as it is reviewed within 10 business days.
