How Commission and Payouts Work
This is the plain-language version of the money rules in the partner terms. Your portal shows the dates and amounts for each of your clients.
When you earn
You earn commission for each month you work with a paying client, starting one month after you partner with them. Each client has an earning date every month on the day you partnered. If a client's current paid period covers that date, you earn for that month.
How much
- Monthly plans: 10% of that month's payment. A $39.99 Professional plan earns you $4.00 a month.
- Yearly plans: 15% of the yearly price, paid to you in twelve monthly installments. A $399.90 Professional plan earns you $5.00 a month.
- A brand-new paying customer: your first commission month is their whole first month's payment (a twelfth of the yearly price on yearly plans), then the normal rate.
Commission is based on what the client actually pays, after discounts and before tax. Free plans and unpaid months earn nothing.
When it ends
Commission ends when your access to the client's website ends, whether the client removed you, you let them go, or they chose another partner. The month it ends in is paid in full. Nothing is earned after it.
A client who cancels within their first 30 days is refunded, and that client earns nothing.
When you are paid
Once a month we send everything you earned in the previous month to your Stripe account. We aim for early in the month; weekends, bank holidays, and processing checks can move the date. Your portal's Money page shows when the next payout is expected. Stripe then pays your bank, usually within two business days. Balances under $20 roll into the next payout until they reach $20.
You connect your bank account through Stripe from your portal. Until you do, your earnings accumulate.
Your own site
Your main business's plan gets cheaper as you work with more paying clients: full price with one, half price with three, free with six or more. The progress bar on your portal home shows where you are.
