The money flow

Here’s exactly what happens when you hire and pay through Mindhyv:

  1. Buyer pays. You pay for the work through the platform, by card or another supported method.
  2. Processing. The payment runs through a third-party payment processor — the same infrastructure that handles card payments across the internet.
  3. Payout. The money is released to the seller’s confirmed payout account, timed against the order so buyer protection can do its job if a dispute comes up before release.

Keeping this on the platform is what makes protection, dispute handling, and verified payout details work. Move money off-platform and you give all of that up.

Commission-free means 0% to us

Mindhyv takes zero commission on what a seller earns. A seller who charges $1,000 for a job keeps their full $1,000 from us — we don’t skim a percentage off the top, and we never will. That’s the founding promise, and how we actually plan to make money instead is spelled out in commission-free, explained.

For sellers, that’s the whole difference. On a marketplace charging a 20% commission, a $1,000 job nets $800. On Mindhyv it nets $1,000, minus only the processing fee below. You can see the gap over a year with our commission savings calculator.

The fee we don’t pretend away

There is one cost we don’t control and won’t hide: standard payment-processing fees. Every card payment on the internet carries a processor’s fee — typically a small percentage plus a fixed per-transaction amount. That fee goes to the payment processor, not to Mindhyv. We don’t add to it, mark it up, or take a piece of it.

We call this out plainly because “commission-free” shouldn’t be read as “free of all costs.” Zero commission to us is true. A processor still charges what a processor charges, the same as it would if you took the card payment yourself.

Payout details and timing

Payouts go only to an account the seller has confirmed, which is part of what verification checks — so money reaches the actual business you hired. Payouts release after the order clears its protection window, and sellers see the timing on each order.
