Payees in a Parent-Child Setup

Revelator supports two types of payees: Distribution Payees and Royalty-only Payees.

The table below compares how each type works, what each can access, and how each is created.

Note You can also set up Commission Payees. A commission payee is someone whose Share % is taken from the distribution fee (your cut of the contract) instead of being taken from the royalties (the cut belonging to regular payees).
