Payout Settings and history

Steps

ScreenshotSteps 1-6

1. Open Payout Settings in the store you want to manage. The active store controls available methods, thresholds, and payout history.
2. Review the summary cards for Active Method, Effective Threshold, and PayPal Email.
3. In the method cards, decide whether you want to use PayPal, Stripe (Bank Deposit), Manual / Other, or None (disable payout requests) for the current store.
4. In Account Linking, use Save PayPal or Connect with Stripe to complete the account-linking step before setting an automated method active.
5. Set the method active only after the related account is ready. Set as active changes your default payout method, but it does not link Stripe for you.
6. Review the Payout Request panel, optional threshold override, recent request queue, and recent payouts. Submit a request only when the button becomes available.

Settings explained

• Summary cards show the active payout method, the effective threshold for the current store, and the currently linked PayPal email.
• Method cards are store-specific. PayPal and Stripe (Bank Deposit) are automated methods, Manual / Other means the merchant handles payout outside automated gateways, and None (disable payout requests) pauses payout requests until you choose another active method.
• Unavailable method messages mean the merchant has not enabled or connected that payout method for the current store yet, even if you already linked your own account.
• Account Linking is separate from method selection. Connect with Stripe or Connect test Stripe starts Stripe linking, while Save PayPal stores your PayPal email and verification state.
• Stripe linking vs activation are different steps. Live mode opens Stripe onboarding, and you do not type a Stripe account ID into this page. Test mode uses a mock Stripe connection instead of a real Stripe login.
• Payout Request is enabled only when all current requirements are met: an automated method is active, the related account is verified, the threshold is met, and no payout request is already pending review.
• Minimum Threshold lets you set a personal override for the current store. Use Save Threshold to set it or Use Shop Default to clear it. Enter 0.00 if you want any-amount requests to qualify.
• Recent Request Queue and Recent Completed/Processing Payouts help you track what was requested, what is still pending merchant review, and what has already started processing or completed.

Example

A partner opens Payout Settings for one store, clicks Connect with Stripe in Account Linking, returns from Stripe onboarding, sets Stripe (Bank Deposit) as the active method, keeps a personal threshold override at 0.00, and submits a payout request once no earlier request is pending.

Tips and limits

• Review the active store before troubleshooting payouts. Store-level availability can change what methods, thresholds, and histories you see.
• If Stripe is not linked yet, the Stripe card will guide you into Connect with Stripe or Connect test Stripe before it can become active.
• If the active method is Manual / Other or None (disable payout requests), payout submission is intentionally disabled.
• A payout request can stay pending until the merchant reviews it, and you cannot submit another automated request while one is already pending.
