Getting paid starts with the terms you agreed to. Cabana builds the invoice from the approved scope and keeps the due date, payment status, and follow-up with the deal. Creator Calls and Direct Engagements stay separate. Processor charges and taxes remain separate.Invoice the approved scope and keep the due date and payment status with the deal.
For Direct Engagements, creators pay 5% on Free or 0.5% on Growth and Scale, capped at $200 in applicable Cabana deal fees per creator per calendar month. Creator Calls use a separate brand-paid fee and carry zero Cabana Call commission for creators. Payment processor fees and applicable taxes are separate. Importing a record does not trigger a fee; externally paid imported deals remain unresolved. Billing enforcement is not live.
Sample data
Scope, deliverables, and the agreed fee move onto the invoice, so the numbers match what was signed. Nothing is retyped.
Net 60 means the invoice is due 60 days after the agreed trigger. If the clock starts after brand approval, an unclear approval date can delay the due date. Keep the approver, approval date, invoice date, and payment terms on the deal before you deliver final files.
For a Direct Engagement, the creator pays the applicable plan fee and the brand pays no Creator Call hiring fee. For a Creator Call, the brand pays the graduated per-hire fee and the creator pays zero Cabana Call commission. Affiliate income is tracked without Cabana taking a cut.
Because every payment is attached to a deal, the yearly total is a list, not an evening spent in an inbox.
On Growth and Scale, Cabana charges a 0.5% Direct Engagement fee until your total applicable Cabana deal fees reach $200 in a calendar month. After that, Cabana charges no additional applicable deal fees for the rest of that month. Payment processor fees may apply separately. Creator Calls use the separate brand-paid graduated per-hire fee and carry zero Cabana Call commission for creators. Importing a deal record does not itself trigger a fee; the treatment of externally paid imported deals remains to be finalized.
Payout timing follows the payment processor's schedule for your country and account. Cabana Studio does not promise a payment date or hold funds in escrow. The payout history shows the processor status, date, gross amount, fees, and net amount so you can see what is still pending.
