How SurfHub Payments Work
SurfHub shares advertising revenue with the people who create and appear in content. When an ad is shown next to a post, a portion of that impression value is split between SurfHub, the photographer (post owner), and any tagged surfers.
Advertising revenue
Advertisers fund campaigns with a budget and a bid (cost per 1,000 impressions / CPM). Each time an eligible ad is shown in the feed, the campaign is charged a share of that bid. Your royalty is calculated from that advertising spend.
Getting paid with Stripe
Link a Stripe Express account from signup or Profile Settings. Once onboarding is complete and charges/transfers are enabled, SurfHub can pay out your accumulated royalties. You can skip linking at signup and connect later — a reminder stays on your profile until you do.
