How payments work

From a sale to money in your account: the hold, our bill, and your Collabs payout.

  • 45-day hold
  • Then Collabs pays you
  • We pay the Collabs fee
  1. Sale attributed. A customer orders through your link or code. It appears in your Collabs account as pending.
  2. 45-day hold. Commission waits 45 days from the purchase date so returns and chargebacks can settle.
  3. On our bill. After the hold, confirmed commission moves to Jhilke Studio's Shopify bill, and we pay that bill.
  4. Payout. Once the bill is paid, Collabs sends the money to the payout method in your Collabs account, on its payout schedule.

What you need to do

  • Connect a payout method in Collabs and turn on automatic payouts. Without it, commission waits.
  • Keep your payout details up to date in Collabs.

Good to know

  • Day 45 is the end of the hold, not a guaranteed payout date. Payout also depends on the bill being paid, Collabs' payout schedule and any minimum payout amount it sets.
  • We pay the Collabs processing fee. It is not taken from your commission.
  • We never pay the same sale twice, and we do not pay commission outside Collabs.
  • Gifted prints are not commission and are not paid out.

If a payout looks wrong, check the order in Collabs first, then write to us with the order date. See tax and invoices for the paperwork side.
