Understanding Payouts and Settlement Cycles

Last updated on Sep 27, 2025

Alright, you’ve made some sales — now let’s talk about getting paid.
Inkress deposits your funds automatically into your linked bank account.

How payouts work

Every successful transaction is processed and queued for payout. Once settled, you’ll receive a direct transfer (minus processing fees).

Typical flow

  1. Customer pays with card 💳

  2. Inkress verifies payment ✅

  3. Funds move to your Inkress balance 💰

  4. Inkress initiates payout to your bank 🏦

Depending on your setup, payouts can occur daily, weekly, or custom — you choose what fits your cash flow.

Example timeline

How to track your payouts

You can view all payouts in your Inkress Merchant Dashboard — each record includes:

  • Payout ID

  • Amount

  • Bank reference

  • Linked transactions

💡 Pro tip: Use reference IDs to match payouts with sales in your accounting system for effortless reconciliation.
