Q. How will the settlement proceed?

The settlement of global makers outside of Korea should be carried out by linking the Stripe Connect or PingPong accounts to the maker studio depending on the country where the business is located.

Country makers outside of China (US, Japan, Hong Kong, etc): Business Certification (KYC) through Stripe Connect is required before the project is opened, and USD (USD) is confirmed based on [Notified Exchange Rate on the Date of Issue of Settlement Statement] and will be automatically withdrawn to the local account.

Chinese Maker: PingPong account registration is mandatory and settlement is paid in USD by applying [real-time exchange rate at the time of final remittance].

Note: I'm wondering how to create PingPong Payments account for settlement. (link)

It will be applied from global projects submitted after June 1, 2026.
