Creators

How do co-authors and credit splits work for a photo set?

You can add up to **5 co-authors** per listing, each tagged with a role: *photographer*, *model*, *stylist*, *makeup artist*, *creative director*, or *other*. Each co-author needs at least 1 credit per generation, and the sum of your share + all co-author shares must equal the listing's creator pool exactly. Each co-author must already have a **published creator profile** on Apiway (they're looked up by nickname); you can't add yourself as a co-author. When a brand generates against the listing, every co-author's payout balance is credited automatically with their share — no manual splitting required.
