Getting paid with payouts - Money transfers to your bank

The money you earn from selling courses is grouped into payouts and sent to your connected bank account or debit card on a rolling schedule. The payout schedule defaults to daily (excluding weekends and bank holidays). Funds are transfered in a payout 2-5 days after a student is charged. The delay between charge and transfer (clearing time) varies based on your established account history.  Payouts are only sent when you have a positive balance. Your connected account or card can be debited, resulting in a "reverse payout", if your balance goes negative due to credit card chargebacks or from refunds issued to students.

You can view your payouts in the LessonFlyer admin panel by going to the My Account section and clicking on My Payouts.

The My Payouts screen shows your pending balance which is an estimate of your next (upcoming payout) and a history of your past payouts and their status.

The pending balance is only an estimate of your next payout because you might receive more sales or issue refunds before the next payout is sent which can change the final amount.

You can click any of your past payouts to drill down and view all the individual transactions it contains.
