The problems marketplaces face paying creators
Building payouts in-house takes monthsKYC, tax withholding, multi-currency payouts, compliance reporting. Building this in-house means months of engineering time. Grade gives you all of it through one API. Go live in days.
DAC7 reporting from the first euroEvery creator payment on your platform is reportable under DAC7 with no minimum threshold. Grade files reports automatically for every transaction. You never touch the paperwork.
Employment classification risk at scaleWhen your platform pays thousands of creators, misclassification risk multiplies. Grade is the legal counterparty to every creator. The employment relationship is between us and them, not your platform.
Cross-border payouts are complexDifferent countries, different tax rules, different payment methods. Your creators are everywhere. Grade pays them all: 190+ countries, local transfers, Wise, PayPal, through one API call.
One API. Every payout handled.
Connect Grade to your platform. Trigger payouts, sync creator data, and pull reports, all through our API. Your engineering team ships product, not payment infrastructure.Go live in days, not months
