Partner Splits: Pay Your Marketer and Team From Every Sale, Automatically

Step-by-step

How to give a partner a share of your earnings on Dropfans

1. 1

   Open Splits

   In your dashboard, open Splits. You see everyone paid from your sales and how many of the four places are used.

2. 2

   Add a partner

   Enter their @username or email, or skip it and copy an invite link. Set the percentage and, if you like, an end date and a note.

3. 3

   Read and sign

   Read the short agreement, type your full legal name and send the invite.

4. 4

   Your partner signs

   Your partner opens the invite, reads the same agreement and signs from their creator or agency account. If they are new, they sign up and verify first (a two-minute ID check).

5. 5

   Shares start on the next sale

   From the next sale, their share is credited to their Dropfans balance on every drop, tip, subscription and paid message.

A creator who earns well rarely works alone. Behind most accounts that sell steadily there is a marketer cutting clips for TikTok and Reddit, someone running the chats, a manager planning the content, maybe an editor or a photographer. Many of them are not paid a salary. They are paid a percentage of what the creator earns, because that is how everyone's interests line up.

That part works. The payment part usually doesn't.

How splits usually work: on trust

The fan pays the platform. The platform pays the creator, or the agency. Everyone else on the team waits for that person to forward their cut.

In practice that means:

• Someone does the maths every week. A screenshot of a dashboard, a spreadsheet, a transfer, sometimes in another currency or in crypto.
• The partner can't see the numbers. They are paid on figures they have to take on trust, and refunds arrive as awkward conversations weeks later.
• Payments slip. A busy week, a holiday, a disagreement, and the transfer is late or doesn't come.
• Every new deal adds admin. So creators keep their team small, and good people stay away from percentage deals because they have been burned before.

None of this is anyone's fault. It is what happens when money for four people lands in one person's account.

What changes when the platform pays everyone

On Dropfans the fan pays Dropfans, which is why the split can happen at the source. With partner splits, a creator, or the agency that manages them, gives a partner a fixed percentage of the creator's earnings. On every sale, Dropfans divides the money between everyone on the creator's split and credits each share straight to that person's own Dropfans balance.

Nobody forwards anything. Nobody has to remember. The partner sees every share land as it happens, from their own account, with the sale it came from.

Here is a $100 drop on an account with an agency on 30% and a marketer on 20%:

The $85.00 is what is left of the $100 after Dropfans' 15% fee. The fan pays the 10% service fee on top at checkout, so it never comes out of anyone's share.

The rules, in short

• The share comes from the giver. In the example, the creator held 70% and gave 20%, so they keep 50%. The agency's 30% doesn't move. An agency can give a partner part of its own share in the same way, on one model or several.
• Up to four people per creator. The creator, their agency if they have one, and partners. Referral partners all share one place, however many there are. That keeps every split readable at a glance.
• A short agreement, signed by both. The giver signs when sending the invite; the partner reads the same text and signs with their legal name. Both get the signed PDF.
• Same hold, same rules. A share follows the hold of the sale it comes from (currently 14 days) before it can be withdrawn, exactly like the creator's own earnings.
• Refunds are fair. If a sale is refunded or charged back, each person's part is reversed on its own. Nobody pays back somebody else's share.
• Either side can end it. Ending stops the share on sales after that moment. Everything already earned stays where it is.

Why this lets partnerships grow

When the payment runs itself, a percentage deal stops being a favour you have to manage. A creator can offer a new marketer 15% of everything they help sell without promising to remember a transfer every Friday. An agency can bring in a specialist on two of its models and pay them from its own share. And the partner, who can see every share arrive, has every reason to keep pushing.

Trust still matters: you choose who you work with and what they do. The agreement covers the money, not the work, so agree on the work separately and use the note field for the short version. What partner splits remove is the part that never needed trust in the first place: getting the right amount to the right person, every time.

How to set one up

1. Open Splits in your dashboard.
2. Click Add a partner, enter their @username or email (or copy an invite link to send on Telegram), and set the percentage.
3. Read the agreement and sign with your legal name.
4. Your partner signs from the invite. If they are new to Dropfans, they create an account on the way and land back on the agreement.

From the next sale, their share is credited to their balance automatically, and they withdraw it like any other earnings: bank, card or crypto through our payout partner, or Paxum. Partners sign from a verified creator or agency account; if yours is new to Dropfans, they verify first (a two-minute ID check) and the invite waits for them. The full rules are in the Partner Splits Terms.

Partner splits are free to use. Standard fees apply to the sales they come from: the creator's earnings are 85% of the listed price, and the split happens on those earnings.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is the percentage taken from?▾

From the creator's earnings on each sale: what is left after Dropfans' 15% fee. On a $100 drop that is $85.00, so a 20% partner gets $17.00.

Whose money does the partner's share come from?▾

Only the giver's. A creator gives from their own part and an agency gives from its agency share. Nobody else's split changes.

How many people can be paid from one creator's sales?▾

Four: the creator, their agency if they have one, and partners. A creator without an agency can have three partners; with an agency, two. Referral partners all share one of those places, however many join.

When can a partner withdraw?▾

Each share is credited to the partner's balance when the sale happens and follows the same 14-day hold as the sale. Then they withdraw it like any other earnings; the minimum payout is $20.

What happens with refunds and chargebacks?▾

Each person's part of that sale is reversed on its own. The creator never pays back the partner's share, and the partner never pays back the creator's.

Can a partner agreement be ended?▾

Yes, by either side at any time in Splits. Sales after that moment are not shared, and everything already earned stays with the person who earned it. You can also set an end date when you invite.

Does the partner need to be a creator?▾

They need a verified Dropfans creator or agency account, because that is where the share is paid. A fan account becomes one through a two-minute ID check, then signs. The invite stays open while they verify.
