When do I get paid?
4 min read
Quick answer: most commissions arrive in your Stripe Connect account 14 days after the buyer's purchase clears. Below is the full lifecycle so you know what's happening at each step.
The four stages of a conversion
1. Held — A conversion lands as 'held' the moment the merchant's webhook confirms a paid order attributed to your tracking link. Held commission is visible in your dashboard but isn't payable yet.
2. Hold window — Most merchants set a 14-day hold to absorb refunds. You'll see a countdown on each conversion. Refunded orders during the hold window are clawed back automatically.
3. Payable — When the hold expires, the conversion flips to 'payable'. The next payout batch picks it up.
4. Paid — A Stripe Connect transfer moves the funds to your connected bank or debit card. You'll get an email when each batch ships.
Faster payouts: opt into debit auth
If you connect a debit card via Stripe's debit_authorization flow, your hold window drops from 14 days to 3 days. Stripe needs the debit auth so we can claw back funds instantly if a refund hits — that's what lets us shorten the hold.

Why your payout might be delayed
Below the platform minimum of $10. We batch smaller balances. They'll ship in the next batch where you cross the threshold.
KYC pending. New creators need to complete Stripe Connect identity verification before the first payout. Visit /dashboard → Connect Stripe.
Connected account paused. Stripe sometimes pauses payouts for risk review. Check your Stripe dashboard for a notification.
