## Best practices for managing disbursements
<a name="disbursement-best-practices"></a>

Consider these best practices when managing your disbursement preferences:
+ Choose disbursement schedules that align with your business's cash flow needs.
+ Set appropriate threshold amounts to minimize transaction fees. For international wire transfers, consider setting higher thresholds to offset wire transfer fees.
+ If you expect high sales volume, more frequent disbursements may be beneficial.
+ If you expect lower sales volume, less frequent disbursements with higher thresholds may be more cost-effective.
+ Review your disbursement history regularly to ensure payments are being processed as expected.
+ Keep your bank account information up to date to avoid payment delays.

## Multi-currency disbursement details
<a name="multi-currency-disbursement-details"></a>

When you create a private offer, you must configure appropriate disbursement preferences and banking arrangements for each currency you plan to support.

### Bank account requirements
<a name="bank-account-requirements"></a>

Before creating offers in non-USD currencies, you must:
+ Set up a bank account that can receive disbursements in the target currency
+ Configure disbursement preferences for each currency in your seller account
+ Ensure your bank supports SWIFT transfers for international currencies

**Important**  
Currency selection is only available if you have configured disbursement preferences for that currency. You must set up the appropriate bank account before creating offers in non-USD currencies.

### Disbursement process for multi-currency offers
<a name="disbursement-process"></a>

Disbursements for multi-currency private offers work as follows:
+ You receive disbursements in the same currency as the private offer
+ Listing fees are deducted in the offer currency
+ Disbursement timing may vary depending on the currency and banking requirements
+ For channel partner offers, both the ISV and channel partner receive disbursements in the offer currency
