Melon calculates what each creator owes, issues the invoice on your schedule, sends it by email and text, and chases it if it goes unpaid. Creators pay by bank or card without needing a Melon account.
You do not need a spreadsheet, and you do not need to ask anyone for money.
What you set up
Connect the platform the creator earns on, so Melon can see the earnings. See Connecting platforms.
Create a split with an earnings basis and a charge schedule. See How do I create a split?.
Send the invite. Once accepted, invoicing runs on its own.
Any supported platform works — OnlyFans, Fansly and SextPanther for earnings-based invoicing, and any platform for cashout-based billing. FansMetric is one way to connect OnlyFans, not a requirement for invoicing.
What happens on each cycle
The balance for the period is calculated from the connected earnings feed.
An invoice is issued at the schedule boundary.
The creator gets an email, and a text if opted in, with their payment link.
If they have auto charge on and a payment method saved, it is charged automatically.
If not, they pay from the link.
Melon only issues an invoice when there is new accrual since the last one. An unchanged balance is never re-invoiced — chasing is the reminders' job.
Reminders
Four days past due, then weekly. Amounts are always current, and a settled invoice stops the reminders.
Fees
Bank payments are free. Card payments cost 2.9% + $0.30, paid by the creator unless your agency absorbs it. See Can creators pay by card?.
