How Payouts Work
There are two types of earnings, and each follows a slightly different path:Subscription Revenue
Monthly revenue sharing payments calculated at the end of each billing cycle based on your contribution value.
Direct Sales
Exclusive beat purchases and track sales are transferred to your balance immediately after the transaction.
Stripe Automatic Payouts
Once money reaches your Stripe balance, Stripe automatically transfers it to your bank account. The timing depends on your country:| Region | Typical Payout Speed |
|---|---|
| United States | 2 business days |
| Canada | 2 business days |
| United Kingdom | 2 business days |
| European Union | 2-3 business days |
| Other countries | 3-7 business days |
Payout speed can vary based on your bank and account history. New accounts may experience slightly longer processing times initially.
Subscription Revenue Schedule
Subscription revenue splits are calculated monthly when each subscriber’s billing cycle renews:- Subscriber pays — When a subscription payment is processed
- Revenue is split — Your share is calculated based on contribution values
- Transfer is initiated — Funds are sent to your Stripe balance
- Payout to bank — Stripe sends money to your bank within 2-7 business days
Because subscribers have different billing dates, you may receive multiple smaller payouts throughout the month rather than one large monthly payment.
Direct Sales Schedule
When someone purchases an exclusive beat or track:- Purchase completed — The buyer pays for the track
- Payment is processed — Stripe processes the transaction
- Funds reach your balance — After a brief processing period
- Automatic payout — Stripe transfers to your bank on the next payout cycle
Viewing Your Payouts
You can track all payouts in your Finances dashboard:- Total Balance — Current balance in your Stripe account
- Future Payouts — Scheduled transfers not yet sent
- In Transit — Money currently being transferred to your bank
- Lifetime Volume — Total amount you’ve earned on the platform
Payout Statuses
Your subscription revenue splits will show one of these statuses:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Split has been calculated, transfer is being processed |
| Paid | Money has been transferred to your Stripe balance |
| Failed | Transfer encountered an error (will retry automatically) |
| Excluded | You weren’t eligible at the time (no active Stripe account) |
Minimum Payout Threshold
Stripe requires a minimum balance of $10 USD (or equivalent) before initiating a payout. If your balance is below this amount, it will accumulate until the threshold is reached.Bank Holidays and Weekends
- Payouts are only processed on business days
- Transfers initiated on Friday may not arrive until Tuesday
- Bank holidays may delay receipt by 1-2 additional days
Troubleshooting Delayed Payouts
If your payout seems delayed:- Check your Stripe account status — Make sure payouts are enabled
- Verify your bank details — Incorrect information can cause delays
- Consider the timing — Weekends and holidays affect processing
- Review for holds — Stripe may temporarily hold funds for new accounts
