YouTube's Partner Program rules change on 1 February 2027, and one of them applies to channels that are already monetized. Put in your numbers to see where you stand, and how many sales would pay what your views do.

of a €25 product on AOVANCY match what those views pay in 90 days, at the midpoint. Across the whole reported range it’s 2 to 20. We pay you about €22.18 of each sale.
Where you stand from 1 February 2027
Shorts ad revenue: 10,000,000 views every rolling 90 days
Below this line, Shorts ad and subscription revenue pauses, and it starts again when you cross it. This applies to channels that are already monetized too.
New applicants: 20,000,000 views in 90 days
That's the new bar for joining the Partner Program through Shorts, up from 10 million. Channels already in the program keep their place.
Shorts pay uses publicly reported rates of $0.01 to $0.10 per 1,000 views; yours depends on your niche, your viewers’ countries and the season. Dollars are converted at the European Central Bank rate of 28 September 2026 ($1 is about €0.88). The sale side uses AOVANCY’s terms: card processing comes off first (estimated at 2.9% + €0.30), then we keep 7.5% of what’s left and pay you the rest. Not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube.
20,000,000 Shorts views pays roughly $200 to $2,000. 44 sales of a €25 digital product pays the same.
The rules

Partly. Channels already in the Partner Program keep their place, but one rule applies to everyone. From 1 February 2027, earning ad and subscription revenue on Shorts needs 10 million qualified Shorts views over the last 90 days, checked on a rolling basis. Drop below it and your Shorts revenue pauses until you're back over the line. Long-form earnings aren't affected. One more thing: accept the updated terms in YouTube Studio by 31 January 2027, or the features they cover stop earning on 1 February.
New applicants to the YouTube Partner Program will need 1,000 subscribers plus either 8,000 qualified public watch hours in the last 365 days (up from 4,000) or 20 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days (up from 10 million). Check YouTube Studio for the notice that applies to your channel.
The pay range, $0.01 to $0.10 per 1,000 Shorts views, is what creator-analytics companies have reported publicly. Real rates swing a lot with niche, country and season, so treat it as a rough guide, not a promise. The sales side uses AOVANCY's terms. Every order is sold by AOVANCY SRL: we take the payment, deliver the file and handle refunds, then pay you 92.5% of the price (before card processing). Card processing comes off first (we estimate 2.9% + €0.30), then we keep 7.5% of what's left. This page isn't affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube.
They don't have to replace it. But Shorts pay is small per view and now depends on a threshold you don't control. A product you sell to the people who already watch you pays per sale, and a few sales a month can match a lot of views.
Keep your channel
Free to start. We keep 7.5% when it sells, plus card processing, and pay you the rest.
