# How to distribute funds

As a creator or product owner involved in the product, you will be able to see a "distribute funds" button below the payment options.

Every time the distribute funds method is called, the distributor pays a gas fee ($5-15 if on ETH Mainnet) and funds are distributed according to the creator splits.

Due to gas costs, it helps to distribute funds once all the NFTs have been purchase or at least until more orders are made. You can check the total funds held in the contract by clicking view all collectors > view contract > click on the contract address on Etherscan (or equivalent across chains).

In this case, 19 out of 30 NFTs have been collected, with a total of 1,805 USDC held in the contract, available for distribution back to the creators.

Once a creator clicks the "distribute funds" button, a final confirmation is required in the wallet to pay required gas fees and all funds are distributed automatically.

To check that the distribution is successful, you can view the contract for the last transaction or your wallet for the transaction details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://crowdmuse.gitbook.io/docs/creator-docs/how-to-distribute-funds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
