Earnings tracking and payment terms

EveryCord's share is a percentage of what you earn from the EveryCord-powered features in your app, after app store fees. Instead of relying only on numbers you report, EveryCord reads your earnings from the stores' own reports, checks them against the purchases the SDK sees, and sends you a statement each month.

Early access. Earnings tracking turns on with the Partner API. Write to services@symaro.com with questions. The routes are in the API reference.

What counts

You mark which of your products are EveryCord-powered: the in-app purchase product IDs (App Store) and SKUs (Google Play) whose value comes from EveryCord features, for example a "Pro streaming" subscription that unlocks multistreaming. Only those products count toward the share. Mark them in the partner dashboard or with PUT /v1/partner/earnings/products.

App Store

1. In App Store Connect, under Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect API, create a team key with the Finance role (financial reports and payments). Sales and Reports is the minimum; Finance also gives the payment dates that set the due date.
2. Download the .p8 file (Apple lets you download it once), and note the Key ID, the Issuer ID and your vendor number (Payments and Financial Reports).
3. Upload them in the partner dashboard (or with PUT /v1/partner/earnings/apple). The .p8 is stored encrypted, never logged and never shown again.

EveryCord checks the key right away: it must see your app's bundle ID and be able to request a Sales and Trends report. Then, once a day, EveryCord reads the daily Sales summary reports of the last 4 days for your apps: units, and proceeds (units times your developer proceeds, in the proceeds currency). A failed pull keeps the earlier numbers and shows the error in the dashboard.

Google Play

1. The partner dashboard shows EveryCord's Google Cloud service account email.
2. In Play Console, under Users and permissions, invite that email with View financial data for your app.
3. Enter your reports bucket ID (pubsite_prod_..., from Download reports > Financial) in the dashboard.

EveryCord checks that it can read the bucket and that your package name appears in the newest report. Once a day it then reads the monthly earnings reports of this month and last: per SKU and day, units (charges less refunds), gross (charges) and proceeds (after Google's fees and refunds; tax rows are left out).

The SDK cross-check

The SDKs watch for purchases of your EveryCord-powered products in your app (StoreKit 2 transaction updates on iOS, Play Billing purchase updates on Android) and send each one to POST /v1/partner/purchases: product ID, transaction ID, price, currency, storefront and time. EveryCord removes duplicates by transaction ID and flags gaps against the store reports. The SDK never sees or sends card details or the buyer's Apple Account or Google account, and never finishes or changes a transaction. Sandbox and Xcode test purchases are marked and kept apart.

Consumables on iOS. A consumable your app finishes right away shows up in StoreKit's purchase history only on iOS 18 and later, and only with SKIncludeConsumableInAppPurchaseHistory set to YES in your app's Info.plist. Add it if your EveryCord-powered products are consumables; otherwise the SDK sees such a purchase only as it happens. The store reports stay the reference either way.

Revenue the stores do not report

Web sales, ads and other revenue from EveryCord-powered features: report it once a month with POST /v1/partner/revenue-reports (API reference). Without store connections, your share is billed from self-reported numbers and the SDK cross-check.

What is stored

Per day, store, app and product: units, gross, proceeds (after store fees), currency and, for US dollar rows, the US dollar value, with the report it came from (apple_report or google_report). The SDK's purchases and your self-reported revenue sit beside them. You see your own numbers in the dashboard and with GET /v1/partner/earnings?month=YYYY-MM.

Statements and payment terms

Each month EveryCord makes a statement per store and currency:

• the calendar month (UTC),
• the proceeds of your EveryCord-powered products, from the store's reports,
• EveryCord's share at your tier,
• the date the store paid you (EveryCord records it from the store's payment),
• the due date: 30 days after the store paid you.

A draft follows the reports until it is issued; a statement is issued only once the payout date is known.

You pay EveryCord's share within 30 days of receiving the money from Apple (or from Google, for Google Play).

See your statements in the dashboard or with GET /v1/partner/statements. If a statement stays unpaid well past its due date (15 days by default, or as your agreement says), EveryCord may pause your partnership; that is always a person's decision, never automatic, and you hear from us first.

Questions about a statement

Write to services@symaro.com with the statement's month and store. A disputed statement is not overdue while we look at it together.
