Payout Schedules & Minimums

Payout Schedules & Minimums

Payout schedules

Kapsule issues payouts on a weekly basis. Funds from completed orders are released to your nominated bank account according to the following process:
  • Order completion: Payouts are triggered once the order is marked as delivered and any return window has passed.
  • Processing time: Payments are batched and sent every Tuesday.
  • Bank clearance: Depending on your bank, funds may take 1–3 business days to appear in your account.

Notes
If a public holiday falls on the usual payout day, the payment may be delayed until the next working day.

Minimum payout thresholds

To keep payment processing efficient, Kapsule uses a minimum payout threshold:
  • Domestic bank accounts: $50 minimum
  • International bank accounts: $100 minimum (due to higher processing costs)
If your available balance is below the minimum, it rolls over into the next week’s cycle until the threshold is met.

Info
There are no fees for holding funds in your vendor account—balances simply accumulate until payout.

Example timeline

  • Order delivered: Friday, 3 May
  • Return period ends: Friday, 10 May
  • Added to payout batch: Tuesday, 14 May
  • Funds clear in bank: Thursday, 16 May (depending on your bank)

Tracking your payouts

You can monitor your upcoming and past payouts in the Vendor Dashboard > Withdraw section. Each statement includes:
  • Total sales revenue
  • Commission and fees deducted
  • Adjustments (refunds, chargebacks)
  • Net payout amount
  • Status (pending, processing, completed)

Alert
Ensure your bank details are correct and kept up to date in your vendor profile. Incorrect information may cause payout failures or delays.
