Guaybo charges a commission on every sale you close. Here’s how it’s calculated, who pays it, and how the money reaches you.

How the commission works

Every successful sale carries a two-part commission:

Variable part

A percentage of the product price: 9.9% on Standard, 7.9% on Creator and Creator Pro.

Fixed part

$0.50 USD per transaction, regardless of the sale amount.
Example for a $20 USD product on the Creator plan:
You decide who pays the commission. You can pass it on to the buyer (added to the final price they see) or absorb it yourself (deducted from your earnings).
Guaybo does not hold your money and does not work as a wallet. We keep no balances in your name: the money from each sale goes straight to your bank account, or the buyer pays you directly. The only thing that moves between you and Guaybo is the platform commission.

Charging in bolívares

Bolívar payments work automatically:
1

The buyer pays

With immediate debit or mobile payment with automatic validation.
Immediate debit: the buyer’s bank sends them an 8-digit code by SMS or through its banking app. That code authorizes the purchase without the buyer ever leaving your sales page.Mobile payment: the buyer opens their banking app, sends the payment to the details shown, and then reports it with their mobile payment details and the transaction reference number.

Guaybo deducts the commission

The commission for your plan is applied.
3

The money reaches your account

The transfer to your bank account happens automatically.
Payout hours. The Venezuelan banking network has intermittent service between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am. The money from sales you receive in that window lands in your account after 8:00 am the next day. Outside those hours the transfer is automatic.

Bank fees

These fees are charged by the banks and the payment network, not by Guaybo. They are deducted from your earnings, on top of the platform commission:

Requirements to charge in bolívares

1

Verify your identity

KYC verification with a photo of your ID document and facial recognition. You must be 18 or older.
2

Add your tax information

Required to issue your invoices.
3

Set up your mobile payment

Under Account → Payment methods, with the details where you want to receive the money.

Charging in dollars and other currencies

With foreign-currency payments the buyer pays you directly and you confirm the transaction in Guaybo. The platform commission becomes a balance you owe Guaybo, and you can see it in the Payments section of your account. You can settle that balance daily or let it accumulate and pay at the end of the week.
The deadline to pay is 3 days after the end of the month. Past that, the account goes into delinquent status and sales are blocked across all your products.

Invoices

The Invoices module holds the history of every invoice Guaybo issues you for the commissions you pay on each sale. A single invoice can group the commissions of several sales made over a period of days, and includes the breakdown of:
  • Subtotal and taxable base
  • 16% VAT
  • Total, in dollars and in bolívares at the BCV rate
Clicking the view detail icon shows exactly which sales are associated with that invoice, under the Associated payments section.
These are the invoices Guaybo issues to you for the platform service. Guaybo does not issue invoices on behalf of creators to their customers: that responsibility belongs to each creator, according to the laws of their country.

Commissions are non-refundable

Commissions are not reversible. If you agree to a refund with a buyer, that refund is handled directly between you two: Guaybo does not take part in those agreements and does not return the commission already charged.

Taxes and invoicing

Each creator is responsible for handling the taxes that apply to their income, according to the laws of their country. The invoices in the Invoices module cover only the commissions you pay Guaybo for using the platform: they do not replace or cover your tax obligations as a seller.

Acceptance

By creating your account and publishing your products on Guaybo, you accept these operating conditions. You can read the full detail in our Terms and Conditions.

FAQ

Yes. For each product you decide whether to add the commission to the final price or absorb it yourself.
In bolívares, the transfer to your account is automatic after each validated sale. In dollars the buyer pays you directly, so you get the money instantly and settle the commission with Guaybo afterwards.
Your account goes into delinquent status 3 days after the end of the month and sales are blocked across all your products until you settle the balance.
