When do I get paid?
Once you mark your content as delivered, the brand has 3–7 days to confirm (3 days for returning brands, 7 days for first-time brands). If they confirm early, your payout is released immediately. If there's no response within the window, funds are automatically released. Stripe then deposits to your bank within 1–2 business days.
Sign up, complete your creator profile — niche, audience size, and pricing — and your listing goes live in the marketplace immediately. There are no approval gates; you appear to brands as soon as your profile is set up.

Sporeboard charges 15% per transaction — no subscriptions, no upfront costs. On a $100 booking, Stripe deducts their processing fee (~3%) first, then you receive 85% of the remainder. Founding creators (first 100 on the platform) lock in 10% for life and receive a permanent 🍄 badge on their listing.
Go to Payouts in your creator dashboard and click 'Connect Stripe.' You'll complete Stripe's standard Connect onboarding — it takes about 5 minutes. You must connect Stripe before you can receive any payouts; completed deals will queue until you do.
Once Sporeboard releases your funds — either after the brand confirms delivery or after the auto-release window (3–7 days depending on whether it's the brand's first deal) — Stripe processes the transfer within 1–2 business days on a standard payout schedule. You can view your payout status directly in your Stripe dashboard.
