Under this model, monthly payouts and performance reporting are managed directly by Adagio rather than through Google. ## How to Activate Direct Pay 1. **GAM Configuration**: Add Adagio as a Direct Pay bidder in Google Ad Manager by following the [Google Ad Manager Direct Pay Setup Guide](https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/15523248?hl=en). 2. **Activation Notice**: Send an email to to request activation. Acceptance can be completed prior to or immediately following your GAM setup. Once this step is completed and approved (and provided all [Getting Started steps](/adagio-documentation/open-bidding/ob-getting-started.md) have been correctly followed), Adagio will immediately **begin monetizing your inventory via Direct Pay.** 3. **Banking Details**: While your monetization starts after step 2, you must complete this step in order to actually receive your payouts. Enter your complete banking information in the Adagio platform under Settings > Billing (*coming soon*). Please note that a bank letter (such as a bank statement or official account verification document) will be required to validate your bank account before your first payment can be issued. ## Payment Terms & Rules * **Payment Schedule**: Net 60 days. * **Minimum Threshold**: $200 USD. Balances below $200 at month-end automatically roll over to the following month until the threshold is reached. * **Reporting Source**: Metrics, revenue reconciliation, and invoicing for Direct Pay are based exclusively on Adagio reporting data. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
