Seller Payments, Fees & Payouts
Effective Date: June 2026
At BuyMyRecipes, our goal is simple: help creators earn money from their recipes while keeping the platform easy and transparent.
How You Get Paid
When a customer purchases your recipe:
- The payment is processed through BuyMyRecipes.
- Your earnings are added to your seller balance.
- Once your balance meets the minimum withdrawal amount, you may request a payout.
You only earn on paid sales. Free recipes priced at $0.00 can help build your audience, but they add nothing to your seller balance.
Payouts are not automatic. Every payout request is reviewed and approved by BuyMyRecipes, and approved payouts are sent manually.
Platform Commission
Example
| Recipe Price | Seller Earnings |
|---|---|
| $3.00 | $2.40 |
