When and how creators get paid from your campaign
You never pay a creator directly. Approved clips earn against the budget you funded, on a fixed clock.
- 1
Counting
Views on an approved clip are counted continuously. Every 72 hours from approval, what has been counted is released.
- 2
Clearing
Released money sits for 72 hours. This is your window to flag anything that turns out to be botted or off-brief.
- 3
Ready
After the hold it is the creator's to withdraw. Your Payouts page shows each stage per clip.
Minimums and caps
A clip only starts paying once it passes the minimum you set, and never pays more than your per-clip cap. Both are in the campaign's Platforms & pay step.

What are Shoot's fees?
Joining, posting, and earning are free. Withdrawals carry Shoot's 7% platform fee plus the payout provider's transaction fee (bank transfer fee or crypto network gas). Both are shown before you confirm.
