Transfers & payouts

How payouts and payout timing works in Porter

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Porter ensures that once a client pays, your money is on its way β€” whether it's going to the shop, the artist, or both.


πŸ’Έ How Transfers Work

As soon as a credit card transaction is processed in Porter:

  • Funds are immediately transferred to the appropriate Stripe account(s), based on your payout settings:

    • Shop account

    • Artist account

    • Or split between both (if using commission settings)

There’s no need to manually trigger payouts β€” everything is automated.


πŸ•’ When You'll Receive the Money

Once Porter sends the funds to your Stripe account:

  • Expect 2–3 business days for the payout to arrive in your linked bank account

  • Example:

    • Payment received on Monday β†’ funds typically hit your bank by Wednesday

⏳ First-Time Delay

  • Your first payout may take up to 5 business days as Stripe verifies your account

  • After that, payouts become consistent: 2–3 business days


πŸ’Έ Want your money faster?

If you ever need funds immediately instead of waiting the usual 2–3 business days, you can use Instant Payouts.

Instant Payouts let you transfer money from your Porter balance to your bank or debit card within seconds, for a small 1.75% fee.
