What Payments does for you
Paid in real time
Money moves when the sale happens, into your own Stripe account. There is no quarterly reconciliation.
Splits at source
Co-producers, talent, rights holders and partners are paid on the transaction, not on a spreadsheet later.
A ledger everyone can read
Every transaction is recorded, so anyone owed a share can check the figure themselves.

The ledger updates
The dashboard shows the sale, the split and the fee against the title.
Why a quarterly statement is the wrong instrument
The habit of paying rights holders twice a year predates the internet. It exists because reconciliation used to be manual work. When the sale is a card payment on a link you control, there is nothing to reconcile. There is no good reason to hold it.
Hiway pays at the point of sale into your own Stripe account. The fee structure is deliberately dull. A flat monthly plan starts at £12. Hiway takes 10% of a pay-per-view sale. Payment processing is passed through at standard rates and never marked up.
Splits save the most time of all. Set them once on a title and every transaction divides itself: co-producers, talent, a syndication partner, a creator who shared a clip. Nobody chases an invoice, because nobody had to raise one in the first place.
Payments questions
When do I get paid?
In real time, to your own Stripe account, at the moment of sale. There is no quarterly reconciliation and no 90-day wait.
How much does Hiway take?
A flat 10% of a pay-per-view sale, so you keep 90%. Payment processing is passed through separately at standard rates.
Can Hiway split revenue between several parties?
Yes. Multi-party splits are set per title and applied automatically on every transaction. Collaborators and partners are paid at the point of sale.
What does the monthly plan cost?
Plans start at £12 a month and cover storage, streaming, screener rooms and the CRM. The transaction fee only applies when you actually sell something.
