2. Getting Started

Follow this quick guide to create your first Zplit and get collaborators paid.

Step 1 – Create your Zplit account

• Sign up with your email and password.

• Confirm your email address if prompted.

Step 2 – Connect your Stripe account

• Connect an existing Stripe account or create a new one during onboarding.

• Stripe handles verification (KYC/KYB) according to your country and business type.

• Zplit never sees or stores your full card or bank details — those stay with Stripe.

Step 3 – Create your first split

• Enter your client’s name and the total project amount (what the client will pay).

• Add each collaborator and assign a percentage.

• Make sure all percentages add up to 100%.

Tip: Many teams add 3–5% to the project total so Zplit’s 2% fee and Stripe’s processing fees are already covered by what the client pays.

Step 4 – Generate and share the payment link

• Click Generate Zplit link to create a Stripe-hosted payment page.

• Share the link by email, WhatsApp, your invoice, or your project tool — whatever you already use with clients.

Step 5 – Track payments and payouts

• When the client pays, the split is applied automatically.

• You’ll see the payment and each collaborator’s share reflected in your Zplit dashboard and in Stripe.
