This blog walks through how automated payment processing works inside the platform, from the moment data is imported to the instant payouts are ready.
Importing and Matching Data
Everything begins with reliable data. In Creative Splits, payment records from external sources can be imported directly into the Collections module. Once uploaded, the system automatically maps each column from the imported file to the right data fields.Watch the demo:

With auto-matching in place, Creative Splits can connect records by identifiers such as titles or contributor IDs, reducing errors and saving hours of manual work.
Recording Funds Received
Once data is imported and mapped, admins can record funds received directly into the system. The Collections module displays every incoming payment with clear details, including exchange rates and multi-currency conversions.Watch the demo:

It keeps the numbers transparent and consistent for every contributor involved.
Applying Additions and Deductions
Every project has its adjustments, whether bonuses, fees, or corrections. Inside Creative Splits, these can be managed directly through the Deductions and Additions section. Each record shows where it applies and how it impacts a distribution.Watch the demo:

Calculating and Distributing Payments
