How It Works

Connect your Stripe account and invite recipients to connect theirs through a simple onboarding flow. Set split rules at the product level or store-wide. When a customer places an order, Payouts calculates each recipient's share and transfers the funds automatically through Stripe Connect. You keep your platform fee, and recipients get paid without any manual work.

Use Case: Multi-Vendor Marketplace

You run a marketplace where 3rd-party sellers list products. Each seller connects their Stripe account. When a customer buys a product, 80% goes to the seller and 20% stays with you as a platform fee. All automatic, all tracked, all handled through Stripe's infrastructure.

Use Case: Affiliate Revenue Sharing

Your affiliates drive traffic to specific products. Assign a 15% commission split to each affiliate's Stripe account on their promoted products. When sales come in, commissions are paid out automatically. No spreadsheets, no manual transfers, no month-end headaches. Track affiliate-driven revenue with Refinery Analytics.

Use Case: Content Creator Royalties

You sell digital products created by multiple authors or artists. Each creator gets a royalty percentage on their work. Payouts handles the split at the product level, so each creator's share is calculated and transferred without any manual intervention.

Built on Stripe Connect

Payouts uses Stripe's official Connect API, the same infrastructure used by platforms like Shopify and Lyft. Stripe handles compliance, tax reporting (1099s), and secure money movement between accounts. Your recipients connect their own Stripe accounts and manage their own banking details directly with Stripe.
