Stripe is how you receive payouts — but you don't need it to get booked. Brands can book you anytime, and if a deal completes before you connect Stripe, Sporeboard holds your money safely until you do. Connect it whenever you're ready from your dashboard settings.
Set your platform, niche, price, and a description of what brands get. This is your storefront — be specific. Brands browse and book directly from your listing.
Verified creators get a badge on their profile, rank higher in search, and unlock the Founding Creator rate. Verification requires a live listing so Sporeboard can confirm your channel.
Platform verification:
TikTok or Instagram — DM @sporeboard with !verify
YouTube — Comment !verify on this unlisted Sporeboard verification video while signed into your channel's Google account
Brands can book you directly at your listed price — payment is already held by Sporeboard when you see it. Or they can send a custom offer at a different price, which shows up in your Offers inbox. Both can be accepted or declined.
A direct booking means the brand already paid — it's a real, funded offer. A custom offer has no payment yet; it only converts to a live deal once you accept and the brand completes checkout within 24 hours.
Review the booking or offer. If you accept a custom offer, the brand then has 24 hours to complete payment — wait for the "Your deal is live" email before starting any work. If you don't respond within 72 hours, the brand is automatically refunded.
⚠️ Do not start creating after accepting a custom offer
Wait for the “Your deal is live” email before starting any work. If the brand doesn’t pay within 24 hours, the offer is automatically cancelled.
Only start creating once you've received the deal live confirmation. On or before the agreed slot date, publish the sponsored content on your platform. Make sure it matches what was agreed.
In your dashboard, mark the deal as delivered and submit a link to the live post. The link must match your platform — youtube.com, tiktok.com, or instagram.com. This starts the brand's review window.
The brand has 3–5 days to respond. They confirm → payout releases immediately. They don't respond → Sporeboard auto-releases after their review window. They dispute → payout paused, Sporeboard reviews within 48 business hours.
Your payout lands in your connected Stripe account. Sporeboard takes a 15% platform fee (10% if you're a Founding Creator) — that's the only deduction from your listed price. The Stripe processing fee is paid by the brand on top, so you keep your full rate minus only the platform fee. Your dashboard shows the breakdown before you accept any deal.
💡 When will I get paid?
After delivery is confirmed, Sporeboard releases to your Stripe account. Stripe typically deposits to your bank within 2 business days. Your very first payout may take a few extra days as Stripe verifies your account.
💡 What if I haven't connected Stripe yet?
Your money doesn't disappear. Sporeboard holds the payout safely in your account balance until you connect Stripe — it can sit there indefinitely. Once you connect, the held funds are released to you automatically. You can connect Stripe any time from your dashboard settings.
