A collaborator only starts earning once their split is Active. Until then, all the royalties stay in your account.
To see where things stand, open the Royalty Splits tab and check the status tag next to their name. Hover over it for a short explanation.
What do the royalty split statuses mean?
Statuses are colour coded. Blue is your share, green is active collaborators, amber is pending and grey is verification required.
Status | What it means | What you can do |
Active | The split is live and royalties are being paid into the collaborator's account. | Edit or remove them |
Pending | You've saved the split and we're waiting for your collaborator to accept their email invitation. | Edit share, resend offer email or remove them |
Rejected | Your collaborator declined the offer. It shows in red with a line through it. | Edit share to send a new offer or remove them |
Verification required | The split was added from a device or location we don't recognise, so we've emailed you to check it was really you. | Resend verification email, or remove them |
Which royalty split status will I see, and when?
A new split starts as Pending and becomes Active as soon as your collaborator accepts. If you change the share of someone who's already active, their current share stays Active and the new one shows as Pending until they accept.
