Get paid through Stripe

Connect your own Stripe account

Creators receive payments through their own connected Stripe account. Open Settings › Payments in your dashboard and choose Connect Stripe. Stripe asks for your details, your bank account and any identity or business checks it needs, then brings you back. Only the site’s owner can do this, once they’ve verified their email.

Members pay you directly. Drate never holds your money.

Payouts and fees

Stripe pays out to your bank account according to your account’s payout schedule and status. For the first 30 days after you connect, each payment waits 14 days before it’s paid out; after that, payouts come on Stripe’s usual schedule. Choose Open Stripe in Settings › Payments to check pending verification, payout timing or bank details.

Drate takes 5% of what members pay for memberships, on either Drate plan. Stripe charges separate payment processing fees. What each Drate plan costs is under Settings › Plan: see Choose a Drate plan.

Your responsibilities as the seller

You are responsible for what you sell, delivering the promised benefits, member support, refunds and applicable taxes. Describe each membership clearly before someone pays.
