Package earnings

This is the most misread thing on the mentor side, so it is worth stating before anything else:

Why#

The buyer has paid for sessions they have not had yet. Until a session happens, it is owed rather than earned - and if the package expires unused, that was never your money to have been paid.

Releasing per redemption is what makes a package safe to sell without either side carrying the whole risk.

How the split is calculated#

At purchase, your net for the package is divided between the sessions in it, in proportion to what each child service sells for on its own.

A package containing one ₹2,000 call and one ₹3,000 mock interview splits 40/60, not 50/50. The mock interview is the bigger share because it is the bigger service.

That split is frozen onto the buyer's entitlement at purchase. Changing your prices afterwards does not re-cut a package already sold.

What a discount does#

This is where money is quietly lost.

The escrow is calculated from the discounted price. So a code does not reduce the first session - it reduces every redemption for the entire life of that package.

The service editor shows the split twice for exactly this reason: once at your list price, and again at the discounted price. If those two tables differ, the second is what you will be paid. It is rendered twice rather than explained in a sentence because otherwise you would be doing proportional arithmetic on your own money.

After a slice is released#

Each released slice then travels the normal payout stages - the dispute window, clearing, transfer. See when you get paid.

So there are two waits stacked on a package: waiting for the buyer to redeem, and then the ordinary wait on that redemption.

If a package expires unredeemed#

What happens to the sessions the buyer never used depends on whether you kept your side of the package:

• You kept bookable slots open: the unused sessions are released to you when the package expires. The buyer had the whole validity period to book and chose not to.
• You offered no bookable slots on three or more days during the package: the unused sessions are attributed to the buyer for a refund, and none of them are released to you.

Days with no bookable slots are counted automatically from your calendar, and each one also pushes the package's expiry out by a day - see session packages.

The validity you chose is a real commitment in both directions - you hold capacity for that period, and the buyer has that long to use it. Released sessions then travel the same payout stages as any other slice.

Cancelling a redeemed session#

Cancelled 6 hours or more before the start, the credit returns to the package and the slice goes back to being unreleased. Inside 6 hours, the credit is spent. Rescheduling and cancelling covers why the boundary is there.
