Collaborator Agreements
Agree product-specific revenue shares without confusing financial participation with dashboard permissions.
Payouts on the 1st and 15th
Developer, affiliate, and collaborator payouts are available twice monthly, on the 1st and 15th, on the same schedule. Each payout covers eligible earnings from the previous period, plus any older unpaid eligible balance, after a minimum 14-day hold. Earnings still within the hold carry forward to the next eligible payout date. Accepted revenue shares, refund or dispute adjustments, and verified payout details determine the eligible balance. An invitation or calculator estimate alone is not a paid balance or proof of a completed payout. External reseller payments are not funds collected by SoundSync.
Collaborator revenue sharing is supported
SoundSync supports collaborators with product-specific revenue-sharing agreements and separately tracked earnings. Agree each contributor's share without sharing your owner login; dashboard access belongs to the separate Team Accounts system.
Agree how a product's revenue is shared
Collaborator agreements record who participates in a product and the share proposed for each eligible product. Use them for product contributions without sharing the developer owner account or giving every contributor access to customer records.
Participation and payout readiness
Affiliate and collaborator accounting is available for eligible one-time product sales. Live participation requires explicit acceptance by both the developer owner and recipient of the current agreement version and payout policy before future eligible sales accrue shares. Keep payout details verified. An invitation or calculator preview is not collected money, and agreement acceptance is separate from live financial approval. Refunds and disputes reconcile the original shares; recurring-product commissions are not included in this workflow.

Collaboration is not workspace access
| Relationship | What it grants |
|---|---|
| Collaborator agreement | Accepted product-specific revenue-sharing terms and separately authorized live participation |
| Team account | A separately assigned role and product scope for dashboard work |
| Reseller relationship | Approved external sales and fulfillment arrangements |
| Affiliate agreement | Referral terms, supported attribution, and eligible sale allocations |
Keep terms and capacity explicit
Review product assignments, rates, effective dates and the accepted version. Multiple collaborators share the post-affiliate remainder. Paused collaborator agreements retain their allocation capacity so resuming cannot exceed a complete product allocation. Ending an agreement preserves its history rather than deleting accepted terms.
Payout responsibility
SoundSync manages recipient settlement on SoundSync-collected sales. The 10% SoundSync fee is deducted first; ordinary managed-checkout processing is covered by SoundSync, not deducted again from recipients. The accepted affiliate share comes next, then collaborator shares and the developer remainder are kept separate. Eligible payouts follow the 1st and 15th schedule and minimum 14-day hold, with payment, destination, refund, dispute, and account checks. Externally collected reseller or partner sales remain unfunded estimates in this settlement system, and SoundSync does not cover their processing fees. No automatic cross-provider or currency conversion is promised.
Changing an agreement does not retrospectively rewrite a sale allocation or erase an earlier obligation. Refunds reverse the original recipient shares for the affected products; already-paid shares are recovered from future earnings. Pending refunds and unresolved disputes can hold the affected balance.

| Remaining revenue | $90.00 |
| Illustrative affiliate share: 20% of $90 | $18.00 |
| Illustrative collaborator share: 25% of the remaining $72 | $18.00 |
| Developer remainder | $54.00 |

Live accounting and agreement approval
Live accounting is available for eligible one-time products. Both the owner and recipient approve the current agreement version before future sales accrue shares. Accepted invitation terms are not a substitute for that financial approval. Review the saved sale allocation and any original-share reversal in your accounting view.
SoundSync-managed Stripe and PayPal checkout processing is covered by SoundSync. External reseller proceeds remain separately unfunded, and their processing fees are the external seller's responsibility. Recurring-product commissions are not part of this native program allocation path.
