Supplier Payout Setup
Send a Stripe Connect onboarding link to each supplier. Once they complete setup, you can transfer commission payments directly to their bank account.
How to set up Stripe Connect & commission fees
Follow these steps for each supplier so commissions auto-transfer to their bank account after every sale.
Create the supplier record (Admin Dashboard → Suppliers)
Go to Admin Dashboard → Suppliers → Add Supplier. Fill in the supplier name and contact email — that email is where the Stripe onboarding link will be sent.
Set the default commission fee
In the supplier form, set Default Commission % (e.g. 5 for 5%) and choose Commission Type:
- PercentageA percentage of each sale total (e.g. 5% of $1,000 = $50 commission).
- FlatA fixed dollar amount per sale regardless of price (e.g. $25 per order).
This default applies to all of the supplier's products. To override it for a single product, open the product in the Product Form and set its commission_rate field — that takes priority.
Choose payout method = Stripe Connect
In the supplier form, set Payout Method to Stripe Connect. This tells the platform to pay commissions automatically via Stripe instead of your manual supplier payment cycle.
Send the Stripe Connect onboarding link
Save the supplier, then open Supplier Payout Setup (this page). Click “Send Invite” next to the supplier. Stripe creates an Express account and emails them a secure onboarding link — they enter their own bank & tax details directly with Stripe; you never see that information.
The link expires in a few days. If it lapses, click Resend Link to generate a fresh one.
Supplier completes onboarding with Stripe
The supplier clicks the link in their email and follows Stripe's steps: verify email, add bank account, submit identity/tax details. When finished, the badge here flips to
You can track all connected accounts and their payout status in theStripe Connect dashboard .
Commissions auto-transfer on each sale
Once onboarded, every time a customer buys one of this supplier's products, the webhook calculates the commission from the rate you set (supplier default or product override) and transfers it to the supplier's Stripe Connect account. The platform keeps the remainder automatically.
Commission priority: Product-level commission rate Supplier default rate. If neither is set, no commission is calculated for that sale.
Where to find your Stripe Connect account ID: It's filled automatically after the supplier completes onboarding — no need to paste it manually. You can view it in the Stripe Connect dashboard or on the supplier card above.
How it works: When you click "Send Invite", Stripe creates an Express account for the supplier and emails them a secure onboarding link. They enter their bank details directly with Stripe — you never see their banking information. Once onboarded, commission transfers happen automatically after each sale.
