# Creator Codes

Creator Codes enable your customers to support streamers, YouTubers, and other influencers directly at checkout. When a Creator Code is used, a portion of the payment is automatically allocated to the creator's Tebex Wallet—no manual payouts required.

You can optionally incentivize usage by applying a customer discount when a Creator Code is used.

### Pricing & Revenue Share

* **Tebex Fee**: An additional **1% fee** applies to payments made using a Creator Code.
* **Revenue Share Cap**: The **maximum payout to a creator is capped at 50%** per transaction. This ensures that payment breakdowns across methods, taxes, and fees don't leave creators with negligible earnings.
* **Gift Card Restrictions**: If you offer gift cards with an associated discount, the **discount will not apply** to purchases where a Creator Code is used.

### How Creators Get a Wallet

To receive payouts from Creator Codes, creators must register for a **Tebex Wallet**. Provide them with the following steps:

#### If the Creator Does Not Have a Wallet:

1. Visit <https://wallet.tebex.io/register>.
2. Create a Tebex account.
3. Set up the wallet as an **individual** or a **registered business**.
4. Add payout information (e.g., PayPal or bank details).
5. Navigate to **Withdraw > Your Details** to find the **Wallet Reference**.
6. Send the **Wallet Reference** to the Tebex store owner.

### ⏳ Settlement Period

Funds earned via Creator Codes are **settled after 30 working days** by default. This delay allows for transaction verification, refund windows, and chargeback processing.

### Adding Creator Code Support to Your Custom Template

To allow customers to enter Creator Codes in your Tebex store, insert the following HTML snippet in your custom template. This functionality is best placed within the `checkout.html` file, as Creator Codes require an active basket to work.

```html
htmlCopyEdit<form method="post" action="/creator-code/add">
  <div class="input-group">
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="code" placeholder="Enter a creator code" value="{{ basket.creator_code }}" {{ basket.creator_code ? 'disabled' }}>
    <div class="input-group-append">
      {% if basket.creator_code %}
        <a href="/creator-code/remove" class="btn btn-danger">Remove</a>
      {% else %}
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Add</button>
      {% endif %}
    </div>
  </div>
</form>
```
