Stripe Connect Payout Setup Guide for Creators

Set up payout details early so your affiliate earnings can be paid on schedule once referrals become eligible.

Why Payout Setup Matters

Without a connected Stripe account, earnings can accrue but may not be disbursed. Completing this once prevents payout delays later.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Open Creator Studio and click Connect Stripe.
  2. Complete Stripe's hosted onboarding for bank, debit card, and tax details.
  3. Return to Creator Studio after Stripe confirms onboarding.
  4. Verify the launch checklist shows payout readiness as complete.

Verification Tips

  1. Use accurate legal, tax, and bank details during Stripe onboarding.
  2. Keep the connected Stripe account active and able to receive USD payouts.
  3. Use the Stripe dashboard link in Creator Studio to update payout details later.

Payout Timeline

Payouts are processed monthly for eligible active referrals based on program terms and status.
