# Payouts Overview

> Understand how storekit transfers collected order payments to your bank account. Covers payout requirements, timing, fees, and settlement reconciliation.

Payouts transfer the funds you've collected from customer orders to your bank account. This guide explains how payouts work and what to expect.

## How Payouts Work

When customers pay for orders, the funds are collected by storekit Payments. These funds are then paid out to your registered bank account according to your [payout schedule](/payouts/payout-schedule).

Each payout includes:

* **Order payments** - Funds collected from completed orders
* **Refunds** - Any refunds issued are deducted from your payout
* **Fees** - Processing fees are deducted automatically

## Payout Requirements

To receive payouts, you must:

1. **Complete verification** - Your storekit Payments account must be fully verified
2. **Have a valid bank account** - A verified bank account must be connected
3. **Have a positive balance** - Funds must be available after deducting refunds and fees

## Viewing Your Payouts

You can view your payout history in **Store Settings > Payments > Payouts**. Each payout shows:

| Field         | Description                       |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Date**      | When the payout was initiated     |
| **Amount**    | Net amount paid to your bank      |
| **Status**    | Pending, Sent, or Failed          |
| **Reference** | Bank reference for reconciliation |

## Payout Statuses

| Status      | Meaning                                         |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Pending** | Payout is scheduled but not yet sent            |
| **Sent**    | Payout has been sent to your bank               |
| **Failed**  | Payout failed - check your bank account details |

## Minimum Payout Amount

There is no minimum payout amount. However, if your balance is negative (due to refunds exceeding sales), the payout will be held until your balance is positive.
