Where your money goes: fees, payouts and refunds
What InfluencersKit charges on your sales, how you get paid, how full and partial refunds are recorded, and what stays your job, such as tax and disputes.
Sales through your store go straight to your own Stripe account, never to InfluencersKit's. InfluencersKit doesn't hold your money and doesn't pay it out to you.
| What you earn from | Who pays you | InfluencersKit's share | Other costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital goods, courses, memberships, coaching | The buyer pays into your Stripe account | 0% on every plan | Stripe's own fees |
| Affiliate commissions | The partner company, directly. Sales you record under Affiliate Programs are a record only | None. It never passes through InfluencersKit | Whatever the partner's terms say |
| MailAdx ads | Set out in the Monetisation Policy. Paid by bank transfer, requested from MailAdx → Payouts once $100 is available: see ad earnings and payouts | Not 0%: a serving fee on direct-sold ads, and a revenue share on marketplace ads | See ad revenue |
What "0% platform fee" covers
InfluencersKit adds no fee to your Stripe checkouts, on any plan, including the free plan and after a trial ends. It covers sales only. It doesn't cover:
- Stripe's fees, which Stripe sets and takes from each payment.
- Your InfluencersKit plan. See plans and billing.
- Ad earnings, which follow the Monetisation Policy.
How you get paid
Stripe pays out to your bank on the schedule set in your Stripe account. Check balances, payouts and fees in Stripe, because Payment Processing shows gross amounts only.
Membership renewals are recorded on Transactions as they're paid, once your webhook sends invoice.paid. See Connect Stripe.
Refund a buyer
InfluencersKit has no refund button. Refunds happen in Stripe, in full or in part.
- 1In Stripe, find the payment and refund it.
- 2Stripe sends
charge.refundedto your webhook. - 3A full refund changes the sale to refunded on Transactions and takes it out of Total Revenue there.
- 4A partial refund keeps the sale completed and records the amount refunded, which is taken off Total Revenue.
What a refund changes
| Sold | Full refund | Partial refund | Not changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital good | The purchase is marked refunded and the buyer's download link stops working | The amount is recorded; the link keeps working | Total Sales and Total Revenue on Digital Goods |
| Course or one-time membership | The student's payment shows refunded | The amount is recorded on the transaction; the enrollment stays paid | Total Revenue and the enrollment count on Courses & Memberships |
| Membership renewal | The renewal's transaction shows refunded | The amount is recorded on the renewal's transaction | The membership. Cancel the subscription in Stripe to change the student to cancelled and stop charges. |
| Coaching session | The booking's payment shows refunded, the booking is cancelled and its seat is freed | The booking's payment shows partly refunded | Total Revenue on Coaching Services |
What stays your job
- Your refund policy. The refund terms in our Terms of Service cover your InfluencersKit plan, not sales to your buyers. You set your own policy and answer those requests.
- Tax. InfluencersKit adds no sales tax, VAT or GST to these checkouts.
- Receipts and invoices. Buyers get a download or booking email from your store name, which isn't a tax invoice. Any receipt with payment details comes from your Stripe settings.
- Disputes. Chargebacks are handled in Stripe, and InfluencersKit doesn't record them.
Frequently asked questions
Does InfluencersKit take a cut of my sales?
No. Sales through Stripe carry a 0% platform fee on every plan. You pay Stripe's fees. Ads are different: see the Monetisation Policy.
How long do payouts take?
That depends on your Stripe account's payout schedule. InfluencersKit isn't involved.
Can a partial refund cut off a buyer's download?
No. Only a full refund ends a digital good's download link.
