Bonuses are opportunities for you to earn money directly from Instagram. If you qualify to earn a bonus, you’ll be notified in the Instagram app to onboard and enable bonus payouts.
This feature is only available for business and creator accounts on Instagram.
Payouts and bonuses
You’ll receive bonus earnings if you meet the requirements for each bonus. Approximate bonus earnings will appear on the bonus-specific progress page.
All bonus payouts are processed at approximately 01:00 PST the first day of the next month and paid out around the 21st of every month.
This means that your bonus payout will only include bonuses that you earned within that month. If a bonus opportunity spans multiple months, you may receive earnings from that opportunity across multiple payouts.
You can review earnings and invoices in the professional dashboard.
