Earnings and payouts

When somebody runs your published Service, you earn. Your share is the price you set less the platform's cut, and it is worked out when the run is admitted rather than renegotiated afterwards.

What has to be set up

Publishing needs the operator capability and a handle, and nothing more. Getting paid needs one more thing: payment onboarding, which is completed through Stripe from your Operator settings.

The two are deliberately separate, and the consequence is worth knowing. You can publish, sell and deliver a Service before finishing onboarding. What you cannot do is receive the money, and it will wait for you rather than being lost.

When the transfer happens

On successful completion, not at purchase. The customer is debited when the run is admitted; you are paid when the run reaches a successful ending.

That order is the point. If the run does not finish, the customer's money goes back to their YAMO balance and no transfer is made, so you are never paid for work that did not arrive and they are never charged for it either.

If your payment onboarding is not complete when a run succeeds, the payout waits rather than failing. It goes through automatically once onboarding is finished.

Where to look

Your Operator settings show your onboarding status, your earnings and your public Front Office. Earnings accumulate as they are recorded against successful runs.

The platform's share

YAMO takes a percentage of your margin rather than of the whole price, so your cost of delivering a run is not something you pay a cut on. The current rate is a written arrangement with the operators in the pilot rather than a permanent term, so the figure is one to agree rather than to read here.
