CollabPay is an app that we created to allow store owners to automate the process of paying people a cut or share of your store’s product sales.
For example, if you created a product with another company and are going 50/50 on the profits split, you can now automate them getting paid their 50% cut of the profits.
CollabPay allows you to deduct the tax, shipping costs, and gateway fees before the 50/50 split are calculated. Meaning you only pay 50% of the profits.
