Revenue sharing

Turn payment infrastructure into a revenue stream.

Revenue sharing allows platforms, aggregators, and technology partners to offer Volet.com payment solutions to their merchants and earn a share of the processing revenue generated by those payments.

It is designed for businesses that distribute payment acceptance through their own products, marketplaces, partner networks, or white-label solutions.

What revenue sharing is​

Revenue sharing is a commercial partnership where your platform connects merchants to Volet.com in exchange for a share of the generated processing revenue.

You can continue managing your own merchant relationships while using Volet.com as the underlying payment infrastructure.

Who this is for​

Revenue sharing is suitable for businesses that already have access to merchants, sellers, creators, or payment traffic.

Typical use cases include:

  • Payment providers
  • Merchant aggregators
  • Marketplaces
  • Creator platforms
  • SaaS platforms serving multiple merchants
  • Web3 infrastructure providers
  • Agencies and integration partners
  • Platforms distributing crypto payment tools

See Sub-merchants for platform and sub-merchant processing models.

How it works​

Your platform integrates with Volet.com once and offers payment capabilities to its own merchants or users.

The general flow:

  1. Your platform enables merchants to accept payments using Volet.com.
  2. Merchants start accepting payments through the agreed integration model.
  3. Payment volume generated by those merchants is tracked.
  4. Volet.com calculates the revenue share based on the agreed commercial terms.
  5. Your platform receives its share according to the agreed payout schedule.

The exact revenue share structure depends on the partner model, payment volume, integration type, and commercial agreement.

Revenue sharing with custodial payments​

Revenue sharing works with Hosted Checkout, API integrations, and sub-merchant processing.

Merchants accept payments through Volet.com, while your platform manages merchant relationships and earns revenue based on the agreed commercial model.

This approach requires no custom smart-contract logic and can be implemented using the standard payment infrastructure.

Revenue sharing with smart contracts​

Revenue sharing can also be implemented using non-custodial smart contracts.

Instead of calculating and distributing revenue after settlement, the smart contract can split each payment automatically between the platform, merchants, affiliates, or other recipients at the moment the payment is executed.

See Accept non-custodial crypto payments for details.

Why use revenue sharing​

Revenue sharing allows your platform to monetize the payment activity generated by your merchant network.

Instead of only referring merchants once, your platform can participate in the ongoing payment volume generated through its network.

This can help you:

  • Add a new revenue stream.
  • Expand your payment product offering.
  • Monetize your merchant base.
  • Offer crypto and stablecoin payments without building infrastructure from scratch.
  • Support more payment use cases for your merchants.
  • Build a partner or white-label payment business on top of Volet.com.

Commercial terms​

Revenue sharing terms are agreed individually.

They may depend on:
