You get paid directly to your own bank, with 0% commission. It’s automatic and secure — here’s exactly how it works.
In your Account, tap Connect payouts. Stripe (our payment provider) takes ~30 seconds to set up your secure payout account. You'll only ever do this once.
When a client pays for a gallery or extra photos, the money goes straight to your payout account — not into a LensQuay pot. We take 0% commission, and the client covers the small card fee, so you keep 100% of your price.
Stripe holds it for a few days (standard settlement), then pays it into your bank automatically. Your first payout is a little slower while Stripe checks the new account; after that it's quick and regular.
100% yours. When you connect payouts, LensQuay sets up a Stripe payout account in your name — your earnings, your bank details. It lives inside LensQuay's payment system (the same way an Uber driver's earnings account lives inside Uber), but only you and we can see it, and the money is only ever yours.
After each sale the money sits as 'pending' for a few days (this is standard Stripe settlement for everyone), then becomes available and pays out to your bank automatically. Your very first payout is held a little longer while Stripe verifies a new account — after that, payouts come through regularly with no delay.
0% commission — you keep 100% of your price. When a client buys, a small card processing fee (about 1.5%) is added at checkout and paid by the client, so Stripe's fee never comes out of your earnings. We'll always give notice before any change.
In your Account → Payments & payouts → Manage payouts. That opens your Stripe dashboard where you can see your balance, upcoming payouts and history, and update your bank details any time.
No. Clients pay on LensQuay, the money is assigned to you instantly, and Stripe pays it to your bank automatically. Nothing manual for you.
