# Marketplace payout

A **marketplace payout** is the transfer a platform makes to the people who earned the money — sellers, contractors, drivers, partners — after the platform keeps its [take rate](/glossary/platform-fee/) from each sale.

## How it works

- The platform collects payment from buyers, often as a [split payment](/glossary/split-payment/).
- It nets off its fee and works out what each payee is owed.
- It pays each one out — on a schedule or on demand — across whatever rails they need.

At scale this is many parties, many currencies and many corridors in a single run, which is where cost and timing start to matter.

## Why it matters

Payouts are where a platform's margin can leak: FX spreads, flat wire fees and the wrong rail can quietly shave money off every transfer. Slow payouts also cost trust — sellers judge a marketplace by how fast and reliably they get paid.

## How Fynex does it

Fynex pays many parties from one run, each in their own currency, and routes every payout to the [cheapest rail](/glossary/least-cost-routing/) automatically — so you keep the margin that spreads and flat fees would otherwise eat.
