Note: Licensors (designers who have licensed fonts to one of the Monotype-owned foundry brands, sometimes referred to as libraries) as yet cannot log in to the Foundry Platform. However, we are working on it!
Overview
Earnings from orders on MyFonts are paid monthly.
Earnings from orders on all other Monotype channels — such as other e-commerce platforms, and offline orders — are paid quarterly.
You can see the estimated date of each payment in the Payments Dashboard of the Foundry Platform. If you have an upcoming payment, you’ll see a row in the table with the estimated date and amount for a particular payment. We cannot send payments on demand outside of the stated payment schedule.

Legacy E-commerce Site Changes.
In past years we consolidated our direct commerce sales platforms around its flagship e-commerce site MyFonts.com. Our e-commerce sales platforms Linotype, FontShop, and Fonts.com were phased out. However, you still have access to your order history from the legacy sites on Foundry Platform.
