# Marketplace payouts

Keep what each person is owed on a Fragment ledger, not in an app table. Each sale splits exactly into the seller's
share and your fee, and each payout is held, then settled or released once, so a retry can't pay twice. Money still
moves on your own rails, such as Stripe or a bank.

The design, schema and code are in the `money-flows` skill. If it's available, load it and follow its
`recipes/platform-payouts.md`. If it isn't, tell the user it's needed and, with their OK, install it:

```bash
npx skills add fragment-dev/fragment-plugins --skill money-flows
```

It can also be read at https://github.com/fragment-dev/fragment-plugins/tree/main/plugins/fragment/skills/money-flows.
It builds on the Fragment SDK in the app's language and runs locally with no account.
