What customers pay waits in your Stripe balance until Stripe sends it to your bank, a payout. Payments says when that happens, or how much is ready for you to send.

Before you start

  • Stripe must have approved your account. See Get paid with Payments.
  • Only the owner can send money or change payouts. Everyone else in your business reads the card.
