🤑 Tutorpeers provides an option for Tutors to get paid for providing lessons. You must set up payouts in your settings to do that.
Note: If you are under 18, you must ask your parents or legal guardian for help.
💰 To process payouts, we use an integration with Stripe called Stripe Connect.
Stripe Connect is a specialized version of Stripe designed for marketplace-style platforms like Tutorpeers.
- Dedicated Account: Stripe Connect accounts on Tutorpeers are distinct from standard Stripe accounts. They are specifically created for and integrated with our platform.
- Separate Registration: Even if you have an existing Stripe account, you must create a Stripe Connect account for Tutorpeers. This ensures a dedicated channel for your transactions with us.
- Unified Credentials: You can use the same email and personal information from your existing Stripe account to register for Stripe Connect on Tutorpeers.
- Fixed Country Details: Once registered, the country information in your Stripe Connect account is permanent and cannot be altered.
- Account Reset for Country Change: To change the country in your Stripe Connect account, delete your existing Tutorpeers account and create a new one, followed by a new Stripe Connect registration.
Step 1: Add Stripe
To receive payment, add a Stripe account. This secure and convenient payment platform allows you to receive money directly in your bank account. To do so, please navigate to settings and click the "Add Stripe account" button.
A new window will pop up where you must confirm your phone number.
Follow the instructions on the screen. The process is quick and straightforward and will get you started quickly!
Note: If you're in the US, for the website, you should use https://tutorpeers.com. Stripe may also ask for an SSN to confirm your identity. This is required by US legislation. We do not store that information.
Step 2: Set Session Price
Once you have added Stripe, you can set the price for your lessons. Choose a fair, competitive price that reflects the value of your time and expertise. The price is set per hour, depending on your session length. You are paid an appropriate amount after each session.
Step 3: Get Booked
Once you have set your session price, you can start receiving bookings from learners. You will receive a notification when that happens.
Please check out our Site policy for information regarding refunds and cancellations.
Step 4: Receive Payment
After the session has taken place, the payment will be transferred to your Stripe account within 2-3 days.
Step 5: Payout
Once you have a minimum balance of $10 in your Stripe account, you can request a payout by clicking the "Payout" button. Tutorpeers does not take any fee from your payment, but payment processor Stripe will withhold it, it's a standard amount for any payment processor of around 2%.
