Setting up payouts
beatsheaven pays producers directly via Stripe Connect — we don't hold your money. The moment a sale clears, Stripe transfers your share to your Connect account, and from there to your bank on a daily schedule.
One-time setup (~90 seconds)
- Go to /dashboard
- Click Set up payouts on the Connect banner
- Complete Stripe's hosted onboarding — ID, tax info, and bank account
- Return to the dashboard. You'll see a green Stripe connected pill once Stripe approves.
Stripe Connect is available in ~46 countries (US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, and more). If your country isn't supported yet, contact support and we'll handle your payout manually until Stripe adds your region.
How money moves
- Buyer pays the full price at checkout (in USD).
- beatsheaven takes its platform commission (9% for Free tier, 0% for PRO).
- The rest transfers to your Stripe Connect account immediately.
- Stripe pays it out to your bank on a daily schedule — typically 2 business days after the sale.
No minimum balance. No withdraw request. Nothing to click after onboarding.
FX and fees
If your bank account isn't in USD, Stripe converts at their mid-market rate with ~2% markup on the transfer. You see the net amount in your bank statement. Stripe's processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) is already deducted from the buyer charge before your share is calculated — you never pay it directly.
Tax
Stripe issues 1099-K forms to US producers who earn $600+ in a calendar year. Non-US producers are responsible for reporting income under their own tax regime. We surface a yearly summary in /dashboard/sales.
