# Plan the money for a co-created offering

> Read an idea's suggested price and revenue split, agree terms with your co-creator, and decide whose portal takes payment.

Every idea comes with a suggested price and split. They're there to start the conversation. Soul doesn't split payments between Luminaries: one person's portal takes the money, and you settle shares between yourselves.

## When to use this

- You and a co-creator have said yes and need to agree who gets what.
- You're about to set up the joint workshop or retreat and need to decide where people pay.

## What the idea suggests

On the idea page:

- The Money: a suggested price (for example per ticket or per person) and a split between the people on the idea, as percentages. A party can be someone who isn't a Luminary, such as a venue.
- Taking Payment: how the idea would be sold, with a card for each way.

The buttons open your dashboard in a new tab. They show for the idea's owner, on the card for their own portal.

## Agree it and set it up

**Step 1: Talk it through**

In your Co-Creation conversation, agree the price, each person's share, and who does what. Use
the idea's numbers as a starting point, not a quote.

**Step 2: Pick one portal to take payment**

Decide whose portal hosts the offering. That person creates it in their dashboard, with Go To
Events (or the matching button) on the idea page.

**Step 3: Write the terms down**

Note the agreed split, who invoices whom and when, in your conversation. A pitch is a good place
to set it out: [Tailor and send a
pitch](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/tailor-and-send-a-pitch).

**Step 4: Settle after it runs**

The host is paid through their own Stripe account like any other sale. The host then pays each
co-creator their share, outside Soul.

**Note:** 
Soul doesn't create the offering from an idea, and doesn't pay out shares to co-creators. Each
sale goes to the one portal that sold it. See [Stripe and
payouts](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/stripe-and-payouts).

## Tips

- Agree on refunds before you sell. The host's [refund policy](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/business/refunds) applies to buyers, so decide how a refund affects each share.
- Count the venue. If a venue takes a cut or a fee, include it as a party in the split.
- Off Soul means no guest list or reminders. Prefer selling on one of your portals so attendees get confirmation and reminder emails.
