# Get your sales into your bank

> See when Stripe sends your sales to your bank, or send what’s waiting yourself, so you always know where your money is.

What customers pay waits in your Stripe balance until Stripe sends it to your bank, a [payout](https://docs.foundable.com/help/glossary.md#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](https://docs.foundable.com/payments/overview.md).
* **Only the owner can send money or change payouts.** Everyone else in your [business](https://docs.foundable.com/help/glossary.md#business) reads the card.

**1. Open Payments**

In **Build**, press **Tools** (under **More actions** on a phone), then **Payments**.

**2. Read the payout card**

Find **Manage your payout account**, above **Dashboard**. Its line says how your sales reach your bank. See [what the card says](#what-the-card-says).

**3. Send what’s ready**

If the card has **Pay out**, press it. Your Stripe balance opens in a new tab. Send the money to your bank there.

![The payout card on a phone: Manage your payout account, \$64.50 is ready to go to your bank account, and Pay out, outlined.](https://mintcdn.com/foundable/DtgMkG_D6REdpj6a/images/payments/payments-payouts-card.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=DtgMkG_D6REdpj6a\&q=85\&s=224812b61a9edcfe7aad0a222ba2e800)

**4. Change your bank account or schedule**

Press **Manage payouts**. Stripe’s payout settings open in a new tab. If the card has **Pay out** instead, press **Open in Stripe** at the top of Payments.

## Check that it worked

Open Payments again. The card’s line says what’s ready now.

## What the card says

> [accordion] “Stripe sends your sales to your bank account every week.”
>
> Stripe pays out by itself, every day, week or month, as the line says. You have nothing to do.

> [accordion] “… is ready to go to your bank account.”
>
> Your Stripe account pays out only when you ask, and this much is ready. It stays in Stripe until you send it: press **Pay out**.

> [accordion] “Stripe keeps your sales until you send them to your bank account.”
>
> Your Stripe account pays out only when you ask, and nothing is ready now. **Pay out** shows once money is ready.

> [accordion] “Make sure your bank account details are up to date to receive payouts.”
>
> Payments hasn’t read Stripe’s answer yet, or couldn’t. Open Payments again in a moment.

## FAQ

> [accordion] Why is a payout less than my sales?
>
> Stripe takes its fees and any refunds from your balance. **Net** in Payments takes off refunds only. See [Track your sales and give refunds](https://docs.foundable.com/payments/sales-and-refunds.md).

> [accordion] Where do I see past payouts?
>
> In your Stripe Dashboard: the owner presses **Open in Stripe**. Payments shows your sales, not each payout.
