# Receiving Payments

Creators and developers may earn bitcoin by selling their collections, referring others to the service or creating applications that utilize OrdinalsBot API.

### Payout Frequency

Payouts are done every day at 00:00 UTC and is managed through a daily batch run for eligible creators.

### Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the daily batch run, the total accumulated earnings must be at least 200k sats. These earnings can be a combination of the following: 

• Mint Price 

• Referral Earnings 

• Additional Fees (by using `additionalFee` parameter when [creating orders](/api/create-a-direct-inscription-order.md#create-order)) 

Please ensure that your combined earnings meet or exceed the **200k sats** threshold to be included in the daily batch payment. 

These minimums do not apply if you prefer to use a [Lightning Address](http://lightningaddress.com) to receive payouts instantly over Lightning Network.

### Checking Your Earnings

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that since service fees are dynamic it may not be possible to forecast or list exact earnings in satoshis/bitcoin.

The number of created orders with a specific referral code and paid orders are tracked as inscriptions are completed by the platform.
