The video shows how Qlero connects royalty balances, payment eligibility, approvals, invoicing, and payment-file exports.

From balance to payout

One connected payment workflow.

Payments should be the natural next step after a royalty period is reviewed — not a separate exercise in copying numbers between tools.

  1. 01

    Start with a clear payable balance

    See what is payable across releases and agreements, with the royalty context behind every amount.

    For the contract context, read our guide to advances and recoupable costs. Use the recoupment calculator for an illustrative advance-only scenario; it excludes additional costs and deductions and does not send payments.

  2. 02

    Keep approval in the workflow

    Review payment requests and threshold eligibility before anything is sent for payout.

  3. 03

    Hand off cleanly

    Generate self-bill invoices and payment-file exports from the same controlled period workflow.

Built for payout days

The context stays with the money.

Give finance, royalty, and label operations a shared view of what is ready, what needs review, and what will be delivered.

Less reconciliation at payout time

The amount being paid stays connected to the statement, period, and agreement that produced it.

A process your team can explain

Make thresholds, approvals, and outputs visible to the people responsible for getting payments right.

Ready for the next reporting cycle

Move from review to payout without rebuilding the same context in another spreadsheet or system.

Keep the source in view

Payments start with a number your team can stand behind.

When payout questions come up, the underlying statement and deal context are close at hand — helping your team answer with clarity.

For recording agreements, our guide to net receipts vs. traditional royalty deals separates the royalty calculation from the amount available for payment.
