The problems agencies face paying creators

Multiple clients, hundreds of creatorsEach client has different creators, different budgets, different rules. You need separate reporting per client but one place to manage it all. Grade gives you that.
Compliance liability sits with youWhen you pay a creator on behalf of a client, the compliance risk is yours. DAC7 reporting, employment classification, tax withholding. Grade takes on all of it as your Merchant of Record.
Invoicing doesn't scaleMore clients means more creators means more invoices. Your ops team spends hours on paperwork that doesn't generate revenue. Grade invoices you once per payout cycle. You invoice your client.
Scaling means more admin, not more marginEvery new client adds payout complexity. Grade removes it. Add creators by email, set rules per client, approve the batch. Done in minutes, not days.

Different rules for every client

Client A pays flat fees. Client B pays performance bonuses. Client C does both. Set different rules per client, per creator, per campaign. Change them anytime.

One invoice per client, not per creator

Grade invoices you once per payout cycle, broken down by client. You invoice your client. No more juggling hundreds of creator invoices across accounts.
