BentBox sales process explained

Everything that happens between publishing a Box and money landing in your account — how pricing works, how buyers pay, and how your monthly payout is calculated. All prices and payouts are in USD.

How it works, step by step

  1. 1

    Publish a Box for sale

    During the Box configuration process you set the price for your Box. All prices are in USD, and you keep 100% of the price you list.

  2. 2

    Buyers purchase access

    Buyers pay in USD to unlock your Box. BentBox’s commission is added on top of your price and paid by the buyer, so your earnings aren’t reduced.

  3. 3

    Your earnings add up

    Every sale accumulates in your account balance throughout the month. You can follow it all on your analytics page.

  4. 4

    Your monthly payout is calculated

    On the first business day of the month we check whether your balance has reached the $100 USD minimum and is eligible for payment.

  5. 5

    You get paid

    Eligible balances are paid in USD using your chosen method, usually within the first week of the month. Bulk payouts run once a month.

Good to know

$100 minimum

Payouts are processed once your balance reaches $100 USD. Below that, your earnings carry over to the next month until you reach the threshold.

Automatic, monthly

There’s nothing to request. Your payout is calculated automatically on the last day of each month based on the minimum.

Transfer fees

Transfer fees are paid by the receiver. The minimum threshold keeps those fees small relative to your payout.

How the payout schedule works

  1. At midnight (12:00:00) Amsterdam time on the 1st day of the month, the payment period ends.
  2. On the following business day, we calculate whether you reached your minimum and are eligible for payment.
  3. If you’re eligible, we email you to confirm that a payout is on its way in the coming days.
  4. Payouts are usually sent within the first week of the month.
  5. If you didn’t reach the minimum, your earnings roll over to the next month and the process repeats until you qualify.

Want to be paid before reaching the minimum?

Get in touch and we’ll see what’s possible. The minimum payment threshold exists to keep your transaction fees and costs as low as possible.
