Developer terms for early access
ShoutPaid early access: no platform fee. This is a plain-language summary of what you agree to when you tick the box in the developer application form. It is not a legal contract.
The terms
- 1You set the terms. Creator commission: at least 30% of each payment. Recurring period for subscriptions: your choice (12 months recommended). Viewer discount: optional (10%+ recommended).
- 2Creator codes. You create one code per creator (web: Stripe promotion code, minimum discount 1 cent; in-app: Apple Offer Code, or a share of Google Play one-time codes). Only payments with a creator’s code count. Customers who paid you before using the code are excluded if you tell us within the 14-day hold.
- 3Prepay. You prepay at least $50 (received amount; transfer fees are yours), or commit at least $50 in writing now and transfer it if we confirm that ShoutPaid holds funds. Commissions are deducted as payments happen. At zero balance, creators pause until you top up; commissions on payments made meanwhile are still owed.
- 4Commission base. Web: amount paid after discount, excluding tax. In-app: net proceeds after the store fee. $0 payments (free trials) earn nothing.
- 514-day hold. A refund during the hold cancels or reduces the commission, returning it to your balance. After the hold, commissions are final, even if refunded later.
- 6Payouts are sent first on December 10, then monthly, by ShoutPaid or by you directly (we confirm which by the end of week 2).
- 7Renewals keep earning for your full recurring period, even if you leave early or ShoutPaid closes to new sign-ups. Top up when asked.
- 8Unused balance (not on hold or owed) is refundable on request.
- 9Verification. Read-only access (Stripe or RevenueCat) or a weekly export of code usage and refunds (iOS: App Store Connect Subscriber Report).
- 10Your service must work end to end, with privacy and refund policy pages.
- 11Changes. We email you at least 3 days before these early-access terms change. Subscriptions credited earlier keep them on renewals.
