Melon collects an agency's share of a creator's earnings automatically. You agree a percentage, Melon works out what is owed from the creator's real platform earnings, charges them, and pays the agency — without invoices, spreadsheets or awkward reminders.

Creators keep their own bank account and their own platform logins. Nothing moves through the agency's hands.

A split is the agreement: this creator shares this percentage of earnings from this platform with this agency. Everything in Melon hangs off it.

A split can also pay a third party a cut of the agency's share — a referral partner or a chat team — without the creator seeing it.

Platforms with a connection give exact daily earnings. The rest are detected by watching the creator's bank for deposits.

See Cashout or earnings — which split should I use?.

A creator earns $1,000 on a 30% split. Melon charges them $300, holds it while the transfer clears, and pays the agency on the weekly payout run. The creator sees "Melon paid your team!" on their statement; the agency sees "Melon paid you out!"

Full timings are in How does money move through Melon?.

Melon sends a payment link instead. They pay by bank or card without needing a Melon account. See How do creators pay an invoice.
