How Peasier Makes Money

Peasier's business is subscriptions. Studios pay for access to the platform, with plan-based limits on storage and premium features (offline AI culling, multiple simultaneous outputs, advanced reporting).

The free plan carries a small fee on invoices — paid plans don't

Peasier doesn't take a cut of every payment that flows through the product. It only collects a fee — 5% of the invoice amount — on invoices paid while a studio is still on the free plan. The moment a studio upgrades to a paid plan, that fee drops to zero on every invoice going forward. Tips are never included in that 5%, even on the free plan — a client's tip goes to the studio in full either way.

In other words: the free plan is genuinely free to use, with a small transaction fee standing in for a subscription; paying for a plan replaces that fee entirely rather than stacking on top of it.

Peasier is never the merchant of record

Whether or not a fee applies, every client payment settles directly into the photographer's own Paystack (NGN) or Stripe Connect (USD) account — see Invoicing & Payments. Peasier's fee, when it applies, is deducted at the point of charge; it never requires Peasier to hold or move a client's money itself. This is a deliberate design decision: it keeps dispute, refund, and payment-compliance liability with the photographer's own account, not with Peasier.
