How payouts work
Fons automatically deposits your processed payments into your bank account.
Once a payout is made, you’ll see an itemized list under Reporting → Payouts.
In the Payments tab, charges show as:
Succeeded → payment complete
Processing → payment pending
The first deposit may take a little longer. Once your bank info is entered, you’re set to start receiving payouts.
Payout schedule
You do not need to be a Verified Provider to receive payouts.
You must be Verified to change your payout frequency.
Default schedule (unverified): Weekly, every Friday
Available frequencies (verified):
Daily: Payments received Tues → paid Thurs; Fri → paid Tues (if no holiday). Processing delays may push recent transactions into the next payout.
Weekly: Same day each week.
Monthly: Same day each month. If set to the 29th–31st, payouts run on the last day of shorter months.
Setup: Go to Settings → Deposit Info → Payout Schedule, select your preference, and Save. The next upcoming payout will be displayed (estimated).
Processing times
Credit cards: ~48 hours to clear
ACH (U.S. only): 5–10 business days to clear
Delays: Bank holidays and external systems may add extra time.
Important notes
Rolling payouts: Stripe pays continuously, releasing funds as they clear. Some funds may be held temporarily and released later.
Negative balance: Occurs if refunds, disputes, or fees exceed your available balance. In this case:
Refunds cannot be issued until the balance is corrected.
Stripe may automatically debit your bank account within 2 business days to cover the deficit.
