Creator Earnings Guide
How creator earnings accrue, clear, and pay out.
Creators earning from paid workflow runs.
Overview#
Creators receive 80% of their margin on each successful run, rounded down to the nearest cent. Hosted compute does not contribute to creator earnings. Failed runs produce no earnings.
Earnings move through three stages: pending, available, and paid.
When you earn#
On each successful buyer run, your share of the margin is credited immediately to your pending balance. This applies whether the buyer funded from wallet or bundle.
Creators do not earn on unused bundle runs that expire after 2 years.
Pending balance#
New earnings land in pending and are not yet available for payout. A reversal applies only to the matching earning while it remains in the 7-day pending window. It never reduces cleared or paid earnings, affects unrelated sales, or creates a negative balance.
Clearing to available#
After 7 calendar days, cleared earnings move from pending to available for an automatic payout.
Payouts#
Automatic weekly payout runs when your available balance reaches at least $25. Smaller balances remain available until the floor is met. Completed transfers appear in payout history with Stripe identifiers.
See Payout System for Connect onboarding and transfer details.
Special cases#
- Failed or cancelled run: No earnings for that run.
- Stopped at the compute limit: No margin earnings. Already-consumed compute may still be retained.
- Composed child run: Each child workflow creator earns on their own margin independently.
- Demo or builder test runs: No earnings.
