Payments & Payouts
Adarle20 collects from your players for you through Stripe, so you can focus on running great sessions. Here's how your payout is calculated, when the money is split, and how it reaches your bank.
How payments work on Adarle20
When a player books your session, they pay upfront through Stripe. At that same moment the payment is split with Stripe Connect: your share goes to your Stripe account and Adarle20 keeps its fee. You never have to chase down payments — money is collected before you play. In series, a player pays for their first session when they subscribe and is then charged automatically for each session, about 5 days before it's played. If a player cancels with a refund, or you cancel or remove a player, your share for that seat is deducted from your balance in the same proportion as the refund (see the Cancellation Policy).
Accepted payment methods
Players pay by credit or debit card, or other methods available in Stripe's secure checkout. A player's seat is confirmed as soon as the payment goes through.
Understanding fees and your actual earnings
On Adarle20 you decide how much you want to receive. When you create a session you enter "Your payout per player" (minimum 37 MXN) and the form calculates what the player will pay: the platform fee (15%) and payment processing costs are added on top of your payout. For example, a 37 MXN payout per player becomes a 50 MXN price for the player. Before publishing you see a preview with the breakdown, so there are no surprises.
Payout schedule and connecting your bank
To create paid sessions you need to set up payments with Stripe Connect. Stripe asks you to verify your identity and link your bank account. Your share is split off as soon as the player pays. Stripe then deposits that balance to your bank once a week. Keep your banking details up to date in Stripe to avoid delays.
Tips for maximizing your earnings
Series are your best tool for steady income: subscribers are charged automatically before each session, so you never have to collect by hand. Offer a small discount versus one-off sessions to encourage sign-ups. Before publishing, check the final price the player will see and compare it with similar sessions on Adarle20. Very low prices can signal low quality; very high prices shrink your audience. Find the sweet spot for your experience and session length. Keep your cancellation rate low — consistent, reliable DMs earn better reviews, which leads to more bookings and justifies higher prices over time.
