What is CreatorCore Pay?
CreatorCore Pay is a creator payout platform that lets brands, agencies, record labels and marketplaces pay creators by bank, PayPal, Venmo or Cash App in 190+ countries. It handles creator onboarding, KYC and tax forms (W-9, W-8BEN), issues 1099-Ks as the reporting party, and runs fully under your brand via dashboard, CSV or API.
Three steps. Then everyone's paid.
- 01 · 🔗
Send a branded link
Creators onboard themselves in four steps: details, tax form, payout method, payment details. Looks like you, not us.

Fund, approve, pay
Top up a balance, send a payout from the dashboard, a CSV or the API, link it to a campaign and hit Pay.

We file the 1099-Ks
CreatorCore is the reporting party. Creators download their forms from their own portal. You're done.

}Paying creators: the old way vs. ours.
😩 The old way
- Chase W-9s over email
- Send payouts one creator at a time
- Answer "where's my money?" DMs
- File 1099s every January
- Creators see a third-party tool
- Wire fees and FX guesswork abroad
😌 With CreatorCore Pay
- W-9 and W-8BEN collected at onboarding
- Pay hundreds of creators in one batch
- Our team handles creator support
- CreatorCore files the 1099-Ks
- Creators only ever see your brand
- 190+ countries, local currencies
Fun on the surface. Serious about money underneath.
Every payout moves through licensed banking partners with verification on both ends.
Teams that stopped chasing W-9s.
“[Testimonial from a brand — 1–2 sentences on time saved and 1099s handled.]”
“[Testimonial from an agency — on white label and looking pro to clients.]”
“[Testimonial from a label — on paying hundreds of global creators per release.]”
Anyone who pays creators.
How do I pay influencers and creators?
Send each creator a branded onboarding link. They verify identity, submit a W-9 or W-8BEN and pick how they want to be paid. You then fund a balance and send payouts from the dashboard, a CSV upload or the API.
Can I pay creators with Venmo or Cash App?
Yes. Creators choose PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or bank transfer at onboarding. PayPal, Venmo, Cash App and instant bank land right away; standard bank transfers take 2–3 business days.
Do I need to send 1099s to creators? Who issues them?
Not when you pay through CreatorCore Pay. CreatorCore issues 1099-Ks to creators as the reporting party, so your company never collects tax forms or files 1099s for creator payments.
How do I pay international creators?
The same way you pay domestic ones. CreatorCore Pay supports creators in 190+ countries, collects the W-8BEN during onboarding and handles the local payout rails.
What tax forms do creators need (W-9 vs W-8BEN)?
US creators submit a W-9; creators outside the US submit a W-8BEN. Both are collected digitally during onboarding, before the first payout.
Can creator onboarding use my brand and domain?
Yes. Onboarding pages, emails and notifications carry your logo, colors and a custom domain. Creators only ever see your brand.
Can an agency or manager get paid on a creator's behalf?
Yes. During onboarding a recipient identifies as the creator or as their management or agency, and payouts can be sent to the manager on the creator's behalf with the campaign linked.
Is there an API for creator payouts?
Yes. A REST API and webhooks let you create creators and payouts and react to status events, with public documentation. CSV bulk upload and the dashboard are there if you'd rather not write code.
How is CreatorCore Pay different from Tipalti or Stripe Connect?
Tipalti is built for vendor accounts payable; Stripe Connect is a toolkit where you build onboarding and tax handling yourself. CreatorCore Pay is built for creators: payouts, tax forms, 1099s and white label work out of the box, live in days.
How secure is CreatorCore Pay?
Funds move through licensed banking partners with bank-level encryption. Every creator and business is KYC/KYB verified, and custom permissions control who can send money.
