Accounting and invoicing for influencer agencies
Brands pay the agency, the agency pays the creators, and in between sit commission, product shipments and usage rights. Saldiqo writes the invoices to brands, records the creators’ invoices as expenses and shows per campaign what is left after all payments.
What comes up for influencer agencies
Money in both directions
The brand pays the agency, the agency pays the creators. Invoices and credit notes run in parallel with different payment terms.
Campaigns with many creators
A campaign has ten or fifty creators. Each has their own fee, products and rights.
Commission and margin
The agency earns on the difference. That requires each campaign to be evaluated on its own.
