Payments on Comstein
How payments work.
Stripe Connect powers checkout and commission splits on Comstein. Founders connect Stripe once. Every transaction is captured, split, and reconciled automatically — Comstein never holds the money.

Captures the payment, splits the commission
Net revenue, own payout schedule
Commission on the same transaction
The flow, step by step
The same path as the diagram above, with what happens at each hop.
- 01
Partner shares a tracked checkout link.
Every link carries partner attribution. Clicks and conversions tie back to the partner who drove them.
- 02
Buyer lands on your Stripe Checkout.
Your branding, your pricing, your tax and currency rules. Comstein never touches the buyer's payment details.
- 03
Stripe captures the payment.
Stripe is the payment processor for every transaction. Funds move through Stripe Connect from the buyer to your accounts.
- 04
Stripe Connect splits the commission.
The commission percentage on your listing routes to the partner's Stripe account at the time of the charge. No invoicing, no monthly reconciliation runs.
- 05
Payouts arrive in each Stripe account.
You and the partner are paid into your own Stripe accounts on your own payout schedules. Comstein records the event and updates attribution.
What gets tracked
Comstein records the attribution and economic state of every transaction so payouts stay in sync with the underlying Stripe events.
The partner who drove each transaction
Click-to-conversion attribution tied to a single partner.
The conversion event itself
First charge, recurring renewal, or one-time purchase — each is recorded.
The commission amount and percentage
The split applied at the time of the charge, including any per-tier rules.
Refunds, disputes, and reconciliation
Comstein mirrors Stripe's transaction state so payouts stay in sync.

Three pieces, set up once. After that, payments and splits run on every transaction without further configuration.
01

Any country Stripe Connect supports. Personal or business.
02

Edge cases, handled automatically

| Scenario | What happens |
|---|---|

| Disputes | Commissions are held during the Stripe dispute window and released or reversed based on the outcome. |
