Earnings & payouts in Grow shows what your games earned. Open it at summerengine.com/studio/grow/earnings and pick 7, 28 or 90 days. How you earn and what Summer takes is on What does it cost to publish?.

​
What you see

Your own numbers show once a game of yours has a sale.
Early access. Your Sparks balance and payout history are not on this page yet. They show here once Summer Games reports them to Studio. Until your games have sales, this page shows example data, marked Example data.

​
Get paid for a paid game

Paid games pay out through your own Stripe account. Set it up once, as the game’s owner:
1

Open Your games

In Grow, open Your games, or the Get paid step of a game.
2

Connect Stripe

Choose the country of your bank account and click Get paid. Stripe asks for your details and bank account in a new tab; it takes a few minutes.
3

Wait for Stripe's check

Studio shows Stripe is checking your details, then Payouts are on. If you left early, click Continue setup.
Until payouts are on, a game cannot have a price, and an approval with a price is refused. Free games work without payouts. Only the owner of a game sees and sets up payouts. Admins and viewers see earnings; developers do not. See roles.

​
Earn with Sparks

Free games built in Summer can sell items for Sparks. The Get paid step of a free game shows the Creator Program terms: how Sparks you earn turn into payouts, and when. Enrolment opens soon, and you do not need it to publish a free game. The full terms are in the Creator Program Terms. How to sell items: Sell items for Sparks.

​
With your agent

Ask “what did my games earn last month?”. The Studio assistant reads the same numbers; from another agent, summer_grow_overview with include: ["earnings"] does the same. Agents never connect payouts for you: that is your click in Stripe.
