Teacher commissions & payouts (how teachers get paid)

Set per-course commission terms, turn them into an agreement the teacher signs, and pay them out. Important: payouts are transferred manually by you, the academy admin — we never auto-split a student's payment.

Last updated Jun 1, 2026

When you add a paid teacher you choose, per course, how they earn: a Percentage Split (e.g. 70/30), a Fixed Fee per Class (e.g. ₹1,500 × 10 classes), or a Fixed per Student amount. A live calculator shows the estimated math while you set the terms.

Payouts are NOT automatic. Student payments settle into your own Razorpay/Stripe account in full — split payments (Razorpay Route / Stripe Connect) are not enabled. You transfer each teacher's agreed share yourself (bank/UPI), on whatever schedule your agreement states.

What the commission terms are for

  • They become the teacher's signed agreement — the terms are injected into your agreement template.
  • They drive the earnings estimate the teacher sees on their dashboard.
  • They give you a clear, auditable figure to transfer manually each cycle.

The agreement is saved for both sides

Once the teacher signs, the agreement is stored immutably with the signer's name, timestamp, and IP. You can read it any time from the teacher's detail page → Contract & Activity tab, and the teacher can read their own copy from My Earnings → My Agreement & Activity. The same tab shows the full activity log: invite sent, invite opened, signed, onboarding completed, and so on.

Making a payout

  • Work out the amount owed from the agreed terms (the teacher's earnings view and your payouts page help here).
  • Transfer it to the teacher's bank/UPI yourself — outside the platform or via your own Razorpay payout.
  • Record it so your payout ledger stays accurate.
Why manual? It keeps you in full control of timing and reconciliation, and it works even though gateway-level split payouts aren't switched on for your account. The signed agreement is what makes the amount unambiguous.
