How to Switch from Manual to Automatic Payouts

Automatic payouts send your money to your bank on a set schedule, so you don't have to start each transfer yourself.

Check your current schedule

Go to Settings → General → Payouts. You'll see your schedule (for example, "Paying out weekly, every Monday"), your Schedule, your Next payout, and when the account was Connected.

Payout frequency depends on your plan

• Standard: weekly payouts
• Growth: weekly and monthly payouts
• Professional: daily, weekly, and monthly payouts

To get another frequency, change your plan in Settings → Plan & billing. See Pricing Plans.

Switch to automatic payouts

Important: Always open Stripe from SmartChange rather than logging in to stripe.com directly. This makes sure you edit the correct connected account and not an unrelated Stripe account.

1. In Settings → General → Payouts, click Edit on Stripe.
2. Once Stripe opens, click the Settings gear in the upper right corner.
3. Under Account Settings, click Business.
4. Under Business, click Bank Accounts & Currencies.
5. Scroll down to + Payout Schedule.
6. Select Automatic and choose a frequency your plan includes.
7. Click Save.

Your payouts now go out automatically on the schedule you chose.

See your payouts

Go to Finance → Payouts. The top shows what's Available, what's Clearing, and what was Paid out this month. The list shows every payout with its Net to bank, when it Arrives, how many Payments it holds, and its Status. Open a payout to see the payments inside it.

Payments settle two business days after they're given, so a payment late in the week lands in the following transfer.
