Understanding Payouts

How Payouts Work

Earnings from your sales are processed through Stripe Connect.

Earning Flow

1. A buyer purchases your product.
2. Your earnings (90% of sale price, minus any Stripe processing fees you have elected to absorb) are held for a 7-day hold period.
3. After the hold period, earnings become available for payout.
4. Request a payout from Dashboard → Payouts.
5. Payouts are processed via Stripe to your connected bank account.

Stripe Processing Fees

Stripe charges a processing fee on every successful charge. The exact amount varies by payment method, currency, and country — AppTrovo pulls the true fee from Stripe after each charge and shows it on each earning. From Dashboard → Payment Settings you choose how Stripe fees are handled on your sales:

• I absorb Stripe fees — the fee is deducted from your payout. Buyers see a clean price at checkout.
• Buyers absorb Stripe fees — an estimated processing-fee line item is added at checkout. You keep a clean 90% of the listed price.

Any calculator preview is labelled estimated; the exact fee is always the one Stripe reports after the charge.

Payout Requirements

• Minimum payout: $50 (configurable by admin).
• Stripe Connect account must be connected and verified.
• No pending disputes or chargebacks on your account.
