How MyGigsters works

Who is involved in a MyGigsters integration and how money moves through your marketplace.

A marketplace has three parties: the customer who pays for work, the worker who does it, and your marketplace in the middle. The Payments API gives you an object for each party and an API for each movement of money between them.

​

How money moves

1. Collect

   Create a customer, save their card, and charge them with a payment intent. You can also send a payment link or an invoice instead of building a checkout.

2. Hold

   Collected funds settle into your wallet. Check available, pending, and reserved balances before you pay out.

3. Pay out

   Register each worker with their bank details, then pay them individually or in a batch. Track every payout to completion.

4. Stay in sync

   Subscribe to webhooks so your system hears about payments, refunds, and payouts as they happen.
