Sponsorship invoicing and payment tracking, commission-free
A deal that airs but never gets paid is not a win, so Sponsorships helps you invoice a brand and track what is outstanding right alongside the deal. It is commission-free: you keep 100% because the platform never touches the money.

In short
Sponsorship invoicing is how a creator bills a brand for an agreed deal and tracks whether it has been paid. On Sponsorships you raise an invoice from a deal in your pipeline, so a $900 host-read or a $500 newsletter slot carries its own invoice with the brand, amount, and due date. You mark it sent and then paid, so at any moment you can see what is outstanding across every deal. Sponsorships is a marketplace and not a payment processor: it never holds, routes, or takes a cut of the money, and the brand pays you directly. That is why it is commission-free, you keep 100% of a $3,600 deal at a flat membership, unlike a platform that skims 5% to 30%.

Invoicing, built for creators and brands
Invoice from the deal
Raise an invoice on a $900 host-read directly from its pipeline card, so the amount and brand are already filled in.

Track every invoice as draft, sent, or paid, so you know at a glance that two deals are still owed and three are settled.
You keep 100%
On a $3,600 deal you keep $3,600, because Sponsorships never touches the money and charges a flat membership with 0% commission.

Common questions
What creators and brands ask
On Sponsorships, the brand pays you directly, to whatever account your invoice names: a US bank account by ACH or wire, PayPal, or your own Stripe or invoicing tool. The platform never holds the money, so there is no wallet and no payout schedule to wait for. On escrow marketplaces and ad networks, payouts land in the platform first and reach your bank later.
Direct deals pay on the terms in your invoice, commonly net 15 or net 30. Platforms that hold the money add their own delay: the beehiiv Ad Network pays on the 20th of the month for the previous month, and Collabstr auto-completes an order after 72 hours and then holds funds for a further payout buffer. With Sponsorships there is no platform delay because the brand pays you.
No. Sponsorships charges a flat membership, from $7.50 a month billed yearly, and takes 0% of every deal. It is a marketplace, not a payment processor, so it never touches, holds or routes the money. A $3,600 sponsorship pays you $3,600, where a platform taking 10% to 30% would keep $360 to $1,080 of it.
Raise the invoice from the deal once the scope is agreed: brand name, placement, air or send date, amount, payment terms and where to pay. On Sponsorships the invoice starts from the deal card in your pipeline, so the brand and amount are already filled in, and you mark it sent and then paid. Attach proof of delivery, such as an air check or send report, when the placement runs.
Both are common. Established brands and agencies usually pay after delivery on net 30 terms, while many creators ask a first-time sponsor for 50% upfront and the balance after the placement runs. Put the terms on the invoice before anything airs. A deposit protects you against a cancelled campaign, and paying after delivery protects the brand, so a split is a fair middle.
Usually, yes. US brands and agencies typically ask a creator for a completed Form W-9 before the first payment, and send a Form 1099 at year end once payments pass the IRS reporting threshold. Keep a signed W-9 ready to attach to your first invoice with a new sponsor, and track every payment so your own records match what brands report.
