How you get paid
Paid daily through Stripe Connect once your brand's invoice clears, with a $25 minimum and a December 15 year-end payout.
You earn the commission the brand sets, in full. The 20% platform fee is billed to the brand, so it is never taken out of your payout. Once your brand's monthly invoice clears, payouts run automatically through Stripe Connect, daily, with a $25 minimum.
The short version
- Paid through Stripe Connect. Payouts run automatically once your brand pays its monthly invoice. You do not chase anyone or send anything.
- Paid daily once the invoice clears. After your brand's invoice clears, we pay out daily, not once a month.
- $25 minimum. Balances under $25 roll forward until they cross it. Nothing is lost.
- December 15 year-end payout. On December 15 we pay out any remaining balance regardless of the minimum.
The brand pays first, then we pay you
Your payout follows your brand's invoice. We do not front commission, so nothing reaches you before the money that funds it has settled. That is what keeps the model honest, and it is why the timing tracks the brand, not a fixed payday.
Here is the order it happens in:
- You drive an attributed sale. Your commission is recorded against your tracking link.
- The brand is invoiced. We bill the brand monthly through Stripe Billing, on the 1st of the following month, net-30. The bill is the commission you earned plus the 20% platform fee on top.
- The invoice clears. The day the brand's payment settles, your earned commission becomes payable to you.
- You get paid. From then on, any balance of $25 or more goes out on the next daily payout through Stripe Connect.
For the full lifecycle, including what happens to a sale during the refund window, see the getting paid timeline.
The daily payout sweep
Once your brand's invoice has cleared, we do not hold your money for a monthly payday. We run a payout every day. Any payable balance of $25 or more goes out on the next sweep through Stripe Connect.
- Daily, not monthly. After the invoice clears, your balance is checked for payout every day.
- Straight to your bank. Stripe Connect sends it to the account you set up at verification. Bank timing then depends on your bank.
- No request needed. You do not have to claim or trigger a payout. It runs on its own.
The $25 minimum, and what happens below it
There is a $25 minimum payout. If your payable balance is under $25, it rolls forward and keeps adding up until it crosses $25, then it goes out on the next daily payout.
| Your payable balance | What happens |
|---|---|
| $25 or more | Paid out on the next daily payout. |
| Under $25 | Rolls forward and keeps building until it crosses $25. |
| Any amount on December 15 | Paid out regardless of the minimum. |
A balance under $25 is not lost
Nothing disappears below the minimum. It carries forward and adds to your next earnings until the total crosses $25. The minimum only sets when the money moves, never whether you keep it.
December 15 year-end payout
On December 15 we pay out any remaining balance regardless of the minimum. So even a balance under $25 is paid before year-end. This keeps your tax reporting clean: the 1099-NEC for the year reflects everything you earned, with nothing left sitting below the minimum.
For how that form works and where to find it, see taxes and your 1099-NEC.
Before your first payout: one-time verification
Your first payout needs Stripe Connect set up once. This happens the first time a brand approves you, not at signup. Stripe handles your ID and bank details; we never see or store them. For the walkthrough, see identity verification.
