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
- Open Creator Studio and click Connect Stripe.
- Complete Stripe's hosted onboarding for bank, debit card, and tax details.
- Return to Creator Studio after Stripe confirms onboarding.
- Verify the launch checklist shows payout readiness as complete.
Verification Tips
- Use accurate legal, tax, and bank details during Stripe onboarding.
- Keep the connected Stripe account active and able to receive USD payouts.
- 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.
