Get paid for UGC - and keep more of it.
Get paid through Stripe, straight to your bank: instant checkout or net-terms invoices, approval-gated so nothing moves until you say so. A flat fee by plan - no marketplace cut of you or the brand.
The payout is where marketplaces get you.
A brand deal that looks like $1,000 often isn’t. A typical marketplace takes 15% or more out of your payout and can charge the brand a fee on top - so you see $850 and the brand pays $1,100. Running the same deal through your own Cabana page means you get paid for UGC on your terms: a flat 2–6%fee by plan, plus Stripe’s real processing cost, and nothing added to the brand’s side.
Payment is approval-gated from start to finish. You approve the deal, pick instant checkout or a net-terms invoice, and the money routes straight to your bank. Your revenue ledger shows exactly what you netted on every deal - the fee and processing withheld and itemized, never a mystery.
Instant checkout or invoice
Choose per deal: a Stripe checkout link for pay-now brands, or a formal hosted invoice with net 15/30/60/90 terms for brands that run on POs.
Approval-gated
Nothing is invoiced or charged until you approve the deal. No deposits into a black box, no marketplace escrow holding your money.

Getting-paid questions, answered.
How do I get paid for UGC?+
Through Stripe, straight to your bank. When you approve a deal you choose how the brand pays - an instant checkout link for pay-now deals, or a formal invoice with net terms for brands on POs. The money routes directly to your bank account, with Cabana's flat plan fee and card processing withheld automatically and itemized on your ledger.
How much does Cabana take?+
A flat 2–6% per brand deal on paid plans (10% on Free) plus Stripe's standard card processing - and it only applies when the deal is paid through Cabana. On a $1,000 deal at Growth that's about $60 (6%) plus processing, versus the 15%+ a typical marketplace skims off your payout. Nothing is charged to the brand.
When do I actually get the money?+
As soon as the brand pays. Pay-now checkout links settle to your connected Stripe account on Stripe's normal payout schedule; net-terms invoices pay out when the brand pays them. Payment aging and overdue nudges chase slow payers for you so you're not the one sending awkward reminders.
Does the brand pay any extra fee?+
No. The brand pays exactly the price you agreed - Cabana's fee comes only from the creator side. That's a key difference from marketplaces, which often add a fee on the brand's side on top of cutting your payout.
What about my affiliate income?+
Cabana takes no cut of it. Connect your affiliate links from networks like Amazon and LTK and the platform tracks clicks and commissions and prices your earnings-per-click - but every cent of that income is yours.
