Money & payouts

Backers pay on your domain. Creators get paid automatically.

Stripe Connect destination charges - the platform fee is retained automatically and the creator's share transfers to their connected account. No admin ever touches a "pay creator" button.

The flow

What happens between a pledge and a payout.

1

Backer pledges

Embedded Stripe checkout, on your domain - no off-site redirect.

→
2

Two funding models

All-or-Nothing (authorize now, capture on success) or Flexible (charge immediately).

→
3

Goal met

Platform fee retained, creator's share transfers via Stripe Connect. Automatic.

Goal not met (All-or-Nothing): every pledge is automatically released or refunded when the deadline passes - the backer is emailed and gets an in-app notification, with zero admin action. One failed refund never blocks the rest; each pledge resolves independently (CampaignResolutionService::releaseOrRefundPledge).
Engineered where it counts

The unglamorous parts, done properly.

⚡

Atomic reward claims

A single conditional UPDATE ... WHERE claimed < quantity means two backers claiming the last unit in the same millisecond can't both succeed. One gets the reward, one gets a clean sold-out.

$

Cents-precise accounting

Every amount - pledge, platform fee, creator payout - is stored as integer cents, not floats. No floating-point rounding drift, ever, on money.

▦

Dashboards

Earnings, payout status, pledge history and receipts for both creators and backers.

▧

Multi-currency, live

Backers see a real-time converted estimate in their own currency; each campaign is still priced and settled in its creator's chosen currency.
