Profit Distribution

If your agency has profit-sharing partners — silent investors, co-founders on a rev-share, key vendors with a slice of the revenue — the platform can split incoming Stripe payouts to multiple recipients automatically. Currently this is configured by Local Visibility Lab staff via Platform Admin; a self-serve agency-side UI is on the roadmap.

What's configurable today

A single platform-wide distribution schedule is stored on the platform's PlatformConfig.profitDistribution document. For each recipient, staff configures:

• Label — display name for the recipient (e.g. "Alice — co-founder").
• Stripe Connect account ID (acct_…) — where their share is pushed via Stripe Connect transfer.
• Percent — share of distributable income for this recipient.
• Enabled — toggle a recipient on/off without deleting them.

Percentages must total ≤ 100. Anything not allocated stays in the source account.

How to request a configuration

1. Decide who the recipients are and what percentages each should receive.
2. Make sure each recipient has their own Stripe Connect account ready (you'll need the acct_… ID for each).
3. Contact Local Visibility Lab support with:
   • Recipient labels
   • Stripe Connect account IDs
   • Percentages
   • When the split should start
4. Staff configures the entries in Platform Admin. Transfers fire automatically against the configured schedule.

What recipients see

Each distribution shows up as a transfer on the recipient's Stripe dashboard with a descriptor identifying the source. They receive standard Stripe payouts to their bank account on their normal Stripe payout schedule.

Changing percentages

Contact support. New transactions use the new percentages from the moment the change is saved; prior distributions are not retroactively adjusted.

Pausing a recipient

Ask support to flip the enabled toggle. Their percentage rolls back into the source account until re-enabled.

Self-serve agency-side profit-distribution UI: add/edit recipients yourself, configure ACH-paid recipients alongside Stripe Connect ones, set effective and end dates, choose schedule modes (per-transaction, daily, monthly), and pull PDF/CSV reports for accounting / 1099 prep.
