Choose a payout type based on when recipients should be able to receive funds: after funding, from a scheduled date, from a funded pool, or after a milestone is completed.

Instant payouts

Use an instant payout when the recipient should be paid as soon as the payout is reviewed, approved, and funded. Instant payouts are useful for:
  • One-off contractor payments
  • Creator or affiliate payouts that are already approved
  • Urgent vendor payments
  • Small payout runs that do not need a future delivery date

Scheduled payouts

Use a scheduled payout when recipients should receive funds on or after a specific date. Scheduled payouts are useful for:
  • Weekly contractor payouts
  • Monthly affiliate payouts
  • Payroll-like payout cycles
  • Future-dated rewards or rebates

Pooled payouts

Use a pooled payout to set aside funds, then create scheduled payouts that draw from the pool over time. Pooled payouts are useful for:
  • Large recipient groups
  • Rewards programs
  • Community or marketplace payout pools
  • Payouts with different payment dates for each recipient

Milestone payouts

Use a milestone payout when payment should depend on a completed deliverable, approval, or project stage. Milestone payouts are useful for:
  • Contractor projects
  • Agency or vendor work
  • Creator campaigns
  • Grants or staged disbursements
