Payment process for premium connectors

Last updated: May 25, 2025

Step 1: Making the Introduction

Once the introduction request is accepted, the Connector can make the introduction in one of two simple ways:

  • Copy the pre-written intro text and send it manually, or

  • Click "Send with Gmail" to share the intro directly.
    Both options are quick and seamless, ensuring the introduction happens without delay.

Step 2: Confirming the Introduction

Three days after the introduction is accepted, the Requestor (the person for whom the intro is made) will receive a notification from Hifive asking if the introduction took place. If there’s no response, a follow-up notification will be sent three days later. Once the Requestor confirms the introduction as successful, the payment process begins.

Step 3: Connector Payout for the Introduction

Upon confirmation of a successful introduction, the Connector will receive an automated email and text message containing a link to collect their payout. They can choose from the following payment methods:

  • Instant Bank Transfer

  • Cash App

  • PayPal

  • Venmo

  • Zelle

Step 4: Revenue Share for Closed Deals


Thirty days after the introduction is marked successful, the Requestor will be asked if the introduction led to a closed-won deal. If yes, the Connector is eligible for the agreed-upon revenue share (e.g., 10% of the deal value). The same payment process applies: the Connector receives their payout via their chosen method, and the Requestor is charged the corresponding amount.

Hifive transaction fees

Unlike most marketplaces, Hifive doesn’t take a cut of the payout. Connectors keep 100% of the amount offered in a successful introduction.

For example, if a Requestor sets a $250 payout and the intro is marked successful, the Connector receives the full $250—no platform fees, no deductions. Hifive is funded separately and is committed to rewarding Connectors fully for the value they create.

Why This Works


Hifive’s process is designed for transparency and efficiency. Connectors are rewarded promptly for their efforts, and Requestors only pay for successful outcomes—ensuring a win-win for both parties.
