Slerp Financial Guide: Payouts, Fees, Invoices & VAT Receipts
Your step-by-step guide to understanding payments, deductions, and financial reporting.
① Payouts
How and when you receive your order revenue.
Payout Schedule
- Payouts are sent once a week on Mondays to your bank account.
- Depending on your bank, funds typically arrive within 1–3 business days.
Settlement Window (Important)
To be included in a Monday payout:
- An order must have been fully settled for at least 7 days before the payout date.
- Orders that settle less than 7 days before Monday will simply roll over into the next week’s payout.
This 7-day settlement period allows Stripe to complete payment processing and risk checks before releasing funds.
