What about taxes and 1099s?
Stripe Connect automatically generates 1099 forms for artists earning over the IRS threshold. Artists provide their tax info during onboarding, and forms are delivered electronically.
Can I set different commission rates per artist?
Yes! Each artist can have a unique commission structure - flat percentage, tiered based on revenue, or custom splits. You can also set different rates for different service types.
