Crypto payouts for marketplaces, without the headache
Paying out dozens or thousands of sellers in crypto usually means custody, compliance, and onboarding friction. QBitFlow lets you onboard sellers in one API call, pay them non-custodially, and take your cut automatically.
Written for the two sides that care: the marketplace running the platform, and the sellers getting paid.
The problem nobody solved
A marketplace has to do one thing traditional payments are terrible at: split one incoming payment between the platform and the right seller, at scale, for people all over the world.
Do it the old way and you inherit every hard problem at once:
Custody and liability
Money lands in your account, and now you're holding other people's funds — a regulatory and trust minefield you never wanted to be in.
Onboarding friction
Every seller has to sign up, verify, and connect a payout method before they can earn a cent — so you lose sellers before they've even made a sale.
Payouts are a project
Reconciling who's owed what, pushing payments to hundreds of wallets, handling the ones that fail — a whole system you build and babysit.
Geography gates sellers out
Traditional processors simply don't work in most of the world, so sellers in the “wrong” country can't get paid at all.
Chargeback fraud lands on you
A buyer pays, gets the goods, then disputes the charge — and the platform eats the loss. Marketplaces are the #1 chargeback target, and it's fraud liability you never signed up for.
Most marketplaces end up either taking custody of everyone's money, or bolting together a fragile payout pipeline. Neither is the business you set out to build.
How QBitFlow solves it
QBitFlow treats a marketplace as an organization with users (your sellers) underneath it. Each seller has their own wallet and their own revenue stream — but you onboard them, and you take your cut, all through one integration.
Payments split automatically
When a customer pays a seller, the seller receives their share and your platform fee is taken out in the same motion — no manual payout run, no reconciliation.
Non-custodial by default
Once a seller is set up, their money goes straight to their own wallet. QBitFlow never holds it, and neither do you.
A trust layer
Create a seller and have them earning before they sign up for anything — then bring them fully on-chain once they've proven worth onboarding.
Read the side that's yours
Sellers earning fast. Your cut, handled. No custody headache.
What you get
Onboard a seller in one API call
No signup form to send them, no waiting.
Your platform fee, taken automatically
Set a percentage once; it's deducted from every seller payment on top of QBitFlow's flat 1.5%.
No chargebacks, ever
Payments are final the moment they settle. No buyer disputing a charge after they got the goods, no fraud liability landing on your platform — the chargeback losses that quietly drain marketplaces simply don't exist.
Zero custody once settled
Sellers' money goes to their own wallets. You're the platform, not the bank.
A trust layer
Let sellers earn before they onboard, and only commit to paying them out once they're proven. No friction at the front, full control before funds move.
How it works, step by step
Each step links to the relevant part of the docs.
- 1
Create your marketplace account
When you sign up, an organization is created automatically with you as the owner, and you set up your organization wallets. This is your platform's home base.

Create sellers via the SDK or API
With one call, you create a user-level account for a seller. From that moment they can already receive payments — you don't have to wait for them to sign up.

Sellers earn immediately, into a tracked balance
Until a seller claims their account, it's unclaimed: they can be paid, but they don't have access yet. Those payments are received into your organization wallets, and QBitFlow keeps a precise ledger of exactly how much is owed to each unclaimed seller. Every cent is tracked and reviewable.
- 4
Claim an account when you're ready to onboard the seller
Using the SDK, you create a claim request for that seller. QBitFlow gives you back a link. You send it to the seller; they set their password and wallets, and from then on they have full access to their own account.

Settle what they earned — once, with one signature
When a seller claims their account, QBitFlow creates a claim-fund entry. Your dashboard lists every claimed account waiting to be settled, with the exact amount already filled in from the ledger. Review it (full ledger entries are there to verify every line), then sign one transaction to send the funds.
- 6
After that, it's hands-off and non-custodial
Once settled, that seller is fully on-chain like any other. Their future payments go straight to their own wallet, your platform fee is taken automatically each time, and you just receive your share whenever they get paid.
The two-sided trust layer — why this matters
Steps 3–5 above are the trust layer, and it solves a genuine tension every marketplace feels.
On the seller's side: zero friction
A new seller can list, sell, and start earning before they've signed up for anything. You don't lose them to a signup wall at the exact moment they're deciding whether your marketplace is worth the effort.
On your side: commit only when it's earned
You're not pushing funds to strangers. Earnings accrue in a tracked ledger, and you only create the claim request — and settle funds — once a seller has proven real and trustworthy. If someone never pans out, you were never on the hook.
Both sides win: the seller gets a frictionless start, and you onboard deliberately, with QBitFlow keeping an exact, auditable ledger the whole time.
Prefer no trust layer? Onboard instantly instead.
The trust layer is optional. To bring a seller fully on-chain from the start — no held balance, no settlement step — you simply create the claim request at the same time you create the seller. They set up their account in a few steps and are immediately live and self-custodial.
No claim-fund to settle, no signature, no funds to send later — every payment goes straight to the seller's own wallet from their very first sale. Pick this when you already trust the seller; pick the trust layer when you want to let them earn first and commit later.
Selling on a crypto marketplace? Here's how you get paid.
You can start earning right away
On most platforms you can't get paid until you've filled out a signup form and connected a payout method. On a QBitFlow-powered marketplace, the marketplace can set you up directly — so you can start making sales and earning before you've signed up for anything. No wall between you and your first sale.
While your account is still unclaimed, your earnings are tracked precisely — the marketplace holds them for you, and QBitFlow keeps an exact ledger of everything you're owed, down to the cent.
Claiming your account
When it's time to take control of your account, the marketplace sends you a claim link. You:
- 1
Open the link.
- 2
Set your password and connect your own wallets.
- 3
That's it — you now have full access to your own QBitFlow account.
Once you've claimed, everything you earned while unclaimed is settled to you, and from then on it works like any other QBitFlow account: payments go straight to your own wallet. No one holds your money — not the marketplace, not QBitFlow. You hold the keys.
Depending on how your marketplace onboards, you might be sent your claim link right away — in which case you set up your account in a few quick steps and you're self-custodial from your very first sale.
Why this is a better deal for you
No signup wall before you can earn
Start selling first; set up the account when it's time.
Your money is yours
After you claim, payments land directly in your wallet — no platform sitting between you and your earnings.
Paid the instant you sell
No weekly payout cycle, no holds, no waiting for a platform to release your money. The moment a sale settles, it's in your wallet.
Get paid anywhere
Crypto has no borders, so it doesn't matter what country you're in — if you have a wallet, you can be paid.
Everything's verifiable
Your earnings are tracked on a ledger you can see, and every payment settles on-chain where you can check it yourself.
Security, simplicity, and transparency — for every seller you pay.
