Profits & Payouts

With the Agency Profits & Payouts feature, Agencies using the AVA Voice AI platform can unlock a new revenue stream by earning profits on minutes purchased by their Sub-accounts.

Overview

By applying a custom markup to minutes, Agencies can earn the difference between the thinkrr.ai base cost and the sale price. Payouts are securely processed through Stripe, making it easy for Agencies to withdraw their earnings once they reach the payout threshold. Let’s explore how this works and how you can get started.

How Agency Profits Work

Agencies have the ability to set a custom per-minute markup on minutes purchased by their Sub-accounts. When a Sub-account buys minutes through AVA, the agency earns the difference between the thinkrr.ai base cost and the agency-defined price. These earnings are accumulated as agency profits and are paid out once they reach a minimum threshold of USD$100.

Example:

• thinkrr.ai Base Cost: $0.18 per minute
• Agency Price: $0.22 per minute
• Profit per minute: $0.04. If a Sub-account buys 2,000 minutes, the agency earns $80 in profit.

Payouts are processed through Stripe Connect, ensuring fast and secure transactions directly to the agency’s bank account.
