Ethnio Incentives Overview

We're constantly adding new payment methods for currencies and countries around the world for your participants. This is all designed to give your participants the best PIE (Participant Incentive Experience).

0% processing fees when you pay incentives via invoice (Enterprise plans) and 4% for other plans. $5,000 Minimum.
8% processing fees for credit card: if you pay incentives via credit card, it's a higher fee.
Limits: you can set a yearly limit for any one recipient (by email) across all your team members, screeners, and incentive batches
International requires Pro or higher plan (150+ countries and currencies around the world).
Localization / Languages: customize every button, word, and email your recipients see.
Donate *Portion* is a great way to ley recipients choose any percentage of their reward to donate to charity.
Branded or Blind: use your logo and branding, or send the emails from a generic email for blind studies.

Adding Recipients is Super Easy

Simply choose one or more methods for your payees under Incentives >> Payment Defaults, or during the process of Incentives >> Pay People. Your scheduled or completed respondents from Ethnio will automatically show up in Incentives, but if you simply want to copy and paste, upload a CSV, or use a Google Sheet with a list of Payees, that's quick as well:

Lock currency & language or auto-detect. If you're sending to one country, lock in that language and currency, or if you're sending globally let Ethnio auto-detect currency and language.

Tons of International Options. Send money anywhere in the world. Localization, different currencies, and cost-of-living adjustments.

You can automatically pay any participant right from ethnio, using either your credit card on file or an invoice payment. Customize the email and the amount. Some restrictions apply.
Send blind distributions. If you need to pay participants anonymously, Ethnio can be the only brand your recipients see.
Track spending, get weekly reports, set limits per participant across multiple researchers and studies.
Import payees/recipients from Google Sheets, copy and page, or CSV. This helps if you have participants from other tools.
