# Revenue share

**Revenue share** is an arrangement where the money from a transaction is divided between parties by an agreed percentage — so each side earns in proportion to what the deal is worth, not a flat amount.

## How it works

- Set the ratio up front: a platform and a referral partner might split net revenue 70/30, or a seller and a sub-brand 80/20.
- Each party's cut moves with the transaction size — larger orders pay everyone more, smaller ones less.
- Unlike a [take rate](/glossary/take-rate/), which is the platform's own slice, revenue share usually describes how the remainder is divided among the other parties.

Where a [platform fee](/glossary/platform-fee/) is often fixed, revenue share is proportional by design.

## Why it matters

Revenue-share deals align incentives — partners earn more when they drive more — but they multiply the accounting. Every transaction now owes several parties a different percentage, and reconciling who is owed what across months of orders is where the arrangement gets expensive to run by hand.

## How Fynex does it

Fynex encodes revenue-share terms as [split payment](/glossary/split-payment/) rules, so each party's percentage is allocated the instant money settles — in their own currency, fully traceable. See [platform commission](/marketplaces/platform-commission/).
