Global term

Payout schedule

When and how often a platform releases earned money to your bank account.

Different platforms have very different payout schedules. Stripe pays out daily or weekly depending on your country. Upwork holds funds for five days then pays weekly. Fiverr typically pays fourteen days after order completion. App stores can hold revenue for thirty to sixty days. Slow payouts are not lost money but they are working capital you cannot deploy. Build the schedule into your cash flow planning before scaling a platform.
