Collection Partners: Commission models and revenue share (how Debitura is paid)

Debitura earns revenue by taking a percentage of the success fees you collect. This article explains how the revenue share works, how commission is calculated, and how the amounts flow between you, the client, and Debitura.

What it is

Debitura's revenue share is the portion of your platform revenue that goes to Debitura as payment for providing the platform, case flow, and client relationships. The revenue share percentage depends on whether the case is pre-legal or legal work, and on the specific rates configured for your partnership.

Your revenue share is configured individually for your partnership - there is no single platform-wide rate. Each partner has a pre-legal rate and a legal rate set in their agreement; in practice these vary between partners (for example 25%, 20% or 18%). Typically the split is 40% to Debitura / 60% to you on pre-legal cases and 20% to Debitura / 80% to you on legal work, but it is always negotiated per partner, so your own agreed rates may differ. Some agreements use tiered pre-legal rates where smaller claims attract a lower Debitura share. Your actual rate is the one defined in your partnership agreement and shown on your case and Partner Balance pages.

Non-Exclusive Partners

Legal Network partners pay 0% revenue share to Debitura. Instead of monetary revenue share, you provide SEO value by maintaining a referral link on your website. See Partner types: Exclusive vs Legal Network for full details.

Why it matters

Understanding how Debitura earns revenue helps you plan your pricing and forecast your earnings from each case. The revenue share model creates alignment: Debitura only earns when you successfully collect, so the platform is designed to help you recover more.

For Exclusive partners, exclusive referral of the pre-legal cases in their jurisdiction and simplified operations compensate for the revenue share. For Legal Network partners, the 0% revenue share reflects that you compete for leads without exclusive case referral.

Commission calculation

For most partners (the Standard commission model), Debitura calculates its revenue share based on all your earnings from a case. This includes success fees, interest, reminder fees, and collection charges.

Some partners operate under a Success Fee Only commission model. Under that model, Debitura's share applies only to the success fee portion of a payment - you keep 100% of any interest, reminder fees, and other collection charges. Your commission model is defined in your partner agreement and determines which earnings Debitura's share is calculated on.

How payouts are calculated

When a debtor makes a payment, the platform automatically generates a payout that allocates the amount between three parties:

  1. Creditor amount: Net funds forwarded to the client

  2. Collection partner amount: Your portion of the success fee

  3. Debitura revenue: Debitura's share of the success fee

The system determines whether a payout is pre-legal or legal based on the case metadata, then applies the appropriate revenue share percentage. For more on how pricing tiers work, see Success fees: how pricing is calculated.

When Debitura receives payment

Debitura sends partner invoices on the 8th of each month, covering all revenue that is eligible and not yet invoiced. Payment terms are Net 8.

What to expect

  • Automatic calculation: You do not need to calculate or track Debitura's share manually. The platform handles all revenue allocation.

  • Invoicing on the 8th: Debitura invoices you on the 8th of each month for all eligible revenue that has not been invoiced yet.

  • Transparent records: Each payout shows the breakdown between client amount, your share, and Debitura's share.

  • Contract overrides: Your contract may specify different percentages. Invoice-level overrides take precedence over partner-level settings.
