What is a payout?

A payout is the money actually landing in your bank. When donors pay, the funds first sit in your payment processor's balance; the processor then sends them to your linked bank account on a schedule — daily, weekly, or whatever you set.

Payouts come from your own processor account, so the timing and the bank account are yours to control. The fundraising tool you use to collect the donations is not involved in the payout itself.

With CrowdCreate, because donations go directly into your own Stripe account, Stripe handles your payouts on your schedule. CrowdCreate never holds the funds, so it is never between you and your money.
