Earnings & Payouts

Your Creator Dashboard (the gold ◇ icon in the sidebar, or /app/creator) is where you see how your worlds are doing -- plays, players, favorites, messages -- and where you cash out money tips from supporters.

The dashboard was redesigned in May 2026 around three ideas: a clear earnings hero up top, per-world analytics with charts, and a tighter Stripe Connect cash-out flow.

The hero

At the top of the dashboard you'll see two big numbers side by side:

• Total Earnings -- money tips you've received, including pending and available balance, in your local currency (USD-equivalent under the hood)
• Mushies Received -- the lifetime total of mushie gifts in your wallet

Below those, a stats row breaks down:

• Lifetime -- all-time money earnings
• This Month -- money earned this calendar month
• Tips -- count of money tips received
• Gifts -- count of mushie gifts received

To the right is the Cash Out button. If your Stripe Connect isn't set up yet, this becomes Set Up Payouts and walks you through onboarding.

Charts

Two side-by-side charts sit under the hero:

• Earnings — Last 30 Days (gold) — daily total tip revenue
• Mushies — Last 30 Days (purple) — daily mushie gifts received

Both charts always render, even at zero, so you can see when things start picking up. Hover for per-day tooltips.

Your Worlds

A grid of every published world you own. Each card shows:

• Thumbnail (with an earnings badge in the corner if that world has earned anything)
• Title
• Plays, favorites, messages, average rating

Click any card to drill into the per-world view.

Per-world detail

Inside a world's detail view you get:

• Four metric cards -- Plays · Unique Players · Favorites · Messages (for the selected time window)
• Extra stats row -- Avg Session, Conversion (card views → plays), Card Views, Reviews
• Charts — one per metric, showing the daily trend

Period picker (top-right) toggles between 7 / 30 / 90 / 365 days. The 30-day default usually has enough signal without too much noise.

Recent Support

Below the worlds grid, when you have any support history, a Recent Support section appears:

• A feed of recent tips and mushie gifts, with sender name (or "Anonymous"), amount, and any message the supporter left
• A Top Supporters column on the right -- your highest-cumulative supporters with avatars

Anonymous tips appear in the feed with the name "Anonymous" -- you get the amount and message, but not the identity.

Stripe Connect & cash-out

To turn money tips into actual bank deposits, link a Stripe Connect Express account:

1. Click Set Up Payouts in the dashboard hero
2. Stripe walks you through identity verification (name, address, bank account, tax info as required by your country)
3. Your status switches to Payouts active once Stripe approves

Once active:

• The Cash Out button releases your available balance to Stripe, which pays out to your linked bank on its standard schedule
• The Stripe Dashboard link in the dashboard footer takes you to your Stripe Express dashboard for payout history, account updates, and tax forms

Holds, fees, and minimums

	Value
Platform fee	20% of gross tip
Stripe processing	Deducted separately by Stripe per their pricing
Hold period	7 days after each payment succeeds
Minimum payout	$10

Earnings start as pending for 7 days (refund/dispute window) and automatically roll into your available balance after. The hero shows pending and available separately when there's anything held.

Mushie gifts

Mushies received from supporters are pure profit -- no platform fee, no Stripe processing, no hold. They land in your wallet instantly and you can spend them on anything that takes mushies (your own AI usage, paid models, etc.).

Tax

Stripe Express handles tax forms (1099-NEC for US, the equivalent for other regions) once your annual earnings cross the local reporting threshold. You can find the forms in your Stripe Dashboard. Yumina does not produce separate tax documents.
