How Payments Work

Complete transparency on direct transactions between creators and studio owners.

How payments work

CollabKit provides the software to manage bookings, but the actual transaction happens directly between you.

  • Creators pay studios directly after booking is accepted
  • CollabKit does not collect, hold, or process payments
  • Studios share their preferred payment method

What we don't handle

CollabKit focuses on discovery and booking. Payment responsibility remains between creator and studio.

  • No escrow or fund holding
  • No split settlements or commissions
  • No percentage-based fees
  • No direct refunds or chargebacks

Why direct collaboration?

Direct relationships benefit both creators and studios by ensuring clarity, control, and faster settlements.

Studios stay in control of pricing and cash flow
Creators know exactly whom they are paying
Clear responsibilities reduce potential disputes
Faster and simpler booking experience

In Short

CollabKit provides discovery and coordination tools. We are not a payment intermediary and believe in the power of direct professional relationships.
