Partner payout from Pro
Partner payout is a possible payout to qualifying Pro and Business owners when end users purchase in the Zeptix-first model. It is not a payout of credits and not a claim on gross revenue. The basis is the safely distributable net surplus after costs, reserves, refund/chargeback risk, and the Zeptix margin.
This cautious calculation matters because AI answers cause real provider costs. A share can only be distributed if the purchased usage stays economically covered.
TL;DR — what partner payout is
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Qualifying purchase | Zeptix-first end-user purchase in the bot |
| Safely distributable net | Amount after costs, reserves, and risk |
Status pending | Purchase is recorded but not yet payable |
Status payable | Amount has been released |
Status paid | Payout has been carried out |
Status reversed | A refund or chargeback reversed the share |
Why it is not calculated from gross revenue
Gross revenue includes payment fees, taxes, possible refunds, chargeback risk, provider costs, and Zeptix operating costs. If you distributed directly from gross, individual purchases could turn negative even though they look like revenue from the outside.
That is why Zeptix works with a conservative net logic. Only once technical usage, reserves, and risks are accounted for can a share be marked as a partner payout.
Requirements
Partner payout typically requires:
- an active Pro or Business plan.
- a Zeptix-first purchase in the bot.
- no block due to a refund, abuse, or compliance review.
- a valid payout/KYC configuration if a payout is to occur.
- admin approval for the final payout run.
Starter primarily protects costs and is not intended as a partner payout tier.
Good communication with your community
Don't talk about users "sending you credits". The correct phrasing is: end users buy usage from Zeptix for your bot; from Pro onward you can receive a partner payout on qualifying purchases.
This phrasing is less spectacular, but clean. It prevents false expectations among users and reduces legal misunderstandings.
