# Business Revenue Share: How Earnings and Payouts Work

> Earn a share of every booking your audience makes, deposited automatically within 48 hours of check-in — no invoicing, no manual reconciliation.

Every hotel booking made through your Ddriftt-powered experience generates a revenue share for you. There's no invoicing cycle, no chasing payments, and no spreadsheet reconciliation. Ddriftt tracks each reservation, calculates your commission, and deposits it automatically — so you can focus on your audience, not your accounts receivable.

## How the revenue share works

You earn a percentage of each hotel booking made through your embedded experience. The share is calculated on the booking value at the time of reservation and attributed directly to your account. Every booking your audience makes — regardless of hotel, room type, or length of stay — contributes to your earnings.

## What triggers a payout

A payout is triggered when a guest completes their check-in. Ddriftt initiates your revenue share deposit within **48 hours of the guest's check-in date**. You don't need to submit an invoice, request a transfer, or take any action — the payout happens automatically.

## How payouts are processed

Ddriftt processes payouts through **Adyen** or **Wise**, depending on your setup. Funds are deposited directly to your nominated account. There is no invoicing step, no payment request, and no minimum threshold you need to reach before a payout is issued.

## Tracking your earnings

Your Ddriftt business dashboard gives you a real-time view of everything you've earned. You can see commission earned, total revenue generated, number of bookings, and per-hotel breakdowns — all updated live as new reservations come in.

See the [Analytics](/business/dashboard-and-analytics) page for a full breakdown of available metrics.

## Taxes

<Warning>
  You are solely responsible for determining, declaring, and paying any taxes applicable to revenue you earn through Ddriftt. This includes income tax, VAT, sales tax, or any other applicable levy in your jurisdiction. Ddriftt does not withhold taxes on your behalf and does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional if you are unsure of your obligations.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does this replace the hotel's existing booking channels?">
    No. Ddriftt's embedded booking runs alongside the hotel's existing distribution channels — it doesn't replace them. Hotels continue to accept bookings through their own website, OTAs, and other channels as normal. Ddriftt simply adds a new, attributed booking channel through your brand's experience.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I control availability?">
    Availability is pulled in real time from each hotel's Property Management System (PMS). You don't manually control availability — what the hotel has open is what your guests can book. This means there's no risk of overselling and no need to manage allotments on your end.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What type of properties can I include?">
    Ddriftt works with independent hotels, boutique properties, and a wide range of accommodation types. You curate which hotels appear in your experience — choosing by location, brand fit, price point, or event proximity. The Ddriftt team will help you identify and onboard properties that fit your audience during setup.
