# Payout

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/Lp-5KRA2nnk?si=-1OCyTTYwHwKh60N>" %}

This section of the MasterStudy eCommerce is a part of the [**Statistics and Payout**](/masterstudy-lms/lms-pro-addons/statistics-and-payouts.md) add-on, and it works only when that add-on is active. It enables you to send payouts to instructors for the courses they are associated with.

* **Admin Commission (%) -** set the percentage of the course price that will be allocated to the admin. This amount **includes any payment gateway fees** and is calculated from the full course price. The remaining percentage will go to the instructor.
* **Instructor Earnings (%) -** set the percentage of the course price that instructors will receive. The total of instructor earnings and admin commission will always be equal to 100.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Payouts are integrated with [PayPal Payouts API](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/v1/) and require a [PayPal Business](https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/referral/paypal-business-account2) account for admins.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-lms/lms-settings/ecommerce/payout.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
