PubPod organizes and records the program. During this release, the publisher sends approved PayPal reimbursements outside PubPod and records the payment in the workspace; the platform does not claim an automated payout before one exists.
- Readers do not buy until the publisher approves them.
- PayPal details are added only after approval inside the authenticated reader portal.
- The approved reimbursement cannot exceed the verified receipt or the promised cap.
- Public reviews are optional and never affect approval or reimbursement.
