Payouts
You keep 85% of every booking. Adkit takes a 15% platform fee. Payouts are processed through Stripe Connect — you connect your Stripe account once and earnings are transferred automatically.
Revenue share
| Party | Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Publisher | 85% | Paid via Stripe Connect |
| Adkit | 15% | Platform fee covering payment processing, CDN, uptime monitoring |
Connecting Stripe
Go to Payouts and click "Connect with Stripe". You'll be redirected to Stripe's onboarding flow — takes about 2 minutes. Once complete, you're redirected back to the dashboard and your account is connected.
If you have unclaimed earnings before connecting, a banner at the top of the page shows the amount and a "Claim now" button. Connecting Stripe triggers automatic processing of any pending payouts.

KPI bar
Four metrics once connected:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Available | Your current Stripe Connect balance. Money that has been transferred to your Stripe account and is waiting to be paid out to your bank based on your payout schedule. |
| Pending | Revenue from active bookings that haven't ended yet. This becomes available after the booking's end date passes. |
| Lifetime | Total earnings across all time, including pending. |
| Paid Out | Total transferred from your Stripe balance to your bank account. |
The Available metric shows an estimated next payout date based on your Stripe payout schedule.
How earnings flow
- An advertiser books and pays.
- The booking runs on your site.
- When the booking ends, your 85% share is transferred to your Stripe Connect account.
- Stripe pays out to your bank on your configured schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly automatic, or manual).

Payout history
A paginated table showing transfers from your Stripe Connect balance to your bank account. Shows date, amount, status (Pending, In transit, Paid, Failed), and expected bank arrival date.
Payout schedule
Your payout schedule is managed in Stripe. Once connected, your current schedule is displayed on the payouts page (e.g. "Automatic (Weekly: Monday)"). To change your schedule, click "Manage in Stripe" to open your Stripe Express dashboard.
Automatic prorating
If your slot goes inactive during an active booking (stops appearing on your site), the advertiser is prorated for the time the ad wasn't displaying. Your earnings are reduced proportionally, minus Adkit's 15% fee which is non-refundable. The proration is calculated based on the overlap between any inactivity periods and the booking window.
