Frequently asked questions
What is the fee?
15% of each post's gross. The creator receives the gross minus 15%, and the brand pays the gross plus 15%. The cap applies before the fee, so a $50 cap pays the creator $42.50 and costs the brand $57.50.
Is there a monthly fee, a seat fee or a minimum?
Not in the current plan. Creators are free and brands pay per verified view. A brand tops up a prepaid balance, and that money stays its own until a post settles against it.
How big is a top-up?
Brand top-ups come in packs of $25, $100, $500 and $2,000. A top-up adds its price to the balance, with no fee at top-up.
When can a creator cash out?
After a post's hold ends (14 days by default) and the balance reaches $25. An operator approves each cashout and it is paid in US dollars.
What is a view floor?
A bounty can require a minimum number of views before a post earns anything. The starting value is 1,000.
Who handles tax?
Stripe collects identity and tax forms when a creator sets up payouts.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. A brand's first top-up can be refunded within 7 days of the payment, and the unspent part comes back to you. Refunds are handled by a person: write to hello@viewpayout.com and a person reviews your request and replies.
