Revenue Sharing

Revenue Sharing

Spartera's standard revenue split is 80/20. For every marketplace transaction, sellers receive 80% and Spartera retains 20% as the platform fee. If you'd rather Spartera build and operate your products for you, that's done under a separate Managed Partner Agreement with its own revenue share. Other custom arrangements (such as enterprise data providers) are negotiated case-by-case — contact [email protected].

How It Works

The Split

Asset Price	Seller Earns (standard 80%)	Platform Fee (20%)
$0.50	$0.40	$0.10
$1.00	$0.80	$0.20
$2.50	$2.00	$0.50
$5.00	$4.00	$1.00
$10.00	$8.00	$2.00
$25.00	$20.00	$5.00

You set your price. Spartera takes 20% of it. The buyer pays your price in credits.

Your 80% is calculated on the list price displayed at the time of the
transaction, regardless of what the buyer paid to acquire the credits they
spent. Credit bundle discounts, subscription pricing, and promotional credit
offers reduce Spartera's share only — they never reduce yours. A sale price
that you set does reduce the list price, and therefore your earnings.

Payment processing costs and transaction taxes are borne by Spartera from its
own share and are not deducted from your earnings.

Example Transaction

1. You set your asset price to $5.00
2. A buyer executes the asset — they spend 10 credits ($5.00)
3. Spartera records $4.00 to your earnings balance
4. $4.00 is included in your next monthly payment run

Payouts

Schedule

Payment runs happen monthly, on the 3rd business day of the month. Each run pays out everything you've earned since your last payment — there are no calendar-month cutoffs, so nothing is ever lost between windows. Contractually, payment is due no later than the 5th business day of the month after the revenue was earned (Platform Partner Agreement §7).

Minimum Threshold

A payment is sent once you've accrued $25.00 in gross sales since your last payment (at the standard split, that's a $20.00 payout). Below the threshold, earnings simply keep accruing until a future run — they are never forfeited.

FAQ

Can I change my asset price after publishing?
Yes, at any time. New price takes effect immediately for future executions.

Is the split always 80/20?
80/20 is the standard split for all marketplace sellers. Custom partnership arrangements are negotiated case-by-case — if you're an enterprise data provider, reach out to [email protected].

What if a buyer disputes an execution?
We review execution logs and resolve fairly. Refunded executions are deducted from your earnings for that transaction only.

Is there a cap on earnings?
No. There is no ceiling on seller earnings.

What's the minimum for a payment to be sent?
$25.00 in gross sales accrued since your last payment ($20.00 net at the standard split). Below that, earnings keep accruing to the next run — nothing rolls off or expires.

When exactly do I get paid?
Payment runs execute on the 3rd business day of each month and cover everything earned since your last payment. You'll receive the ACH transfer plus a PDF statement by email.
