Seller payouts

How money gets from a buyer's card or PayPal account to yours.

How do I get paid?

Set up at least one payout method before you publish a listing:

Stripe Connect — onboard via Seller account. Stripe handles KYC (ID, bank account) inside an embedded form on Trevul. Once approved, card-paying buyers' payments flow to your Stripe balance, then to your linked bank on Stripe's regular payout schedule (typically every 2 business days).
PayPal — drop your PayPal email at Seller account → PayPal. That's it; no business account needed. PayPal-paying buyers' funds land directly in your PayPal balance the moment they pay.

Most sellers set up both so every listing is reachable.

When does the money arrive?

Stripe: charge clears in 1–2 business days on Stripe's side, payout is on Stripe's schedule (default daily after a rolling 2-day wait — see your Stripe Express dashboard for the exact cadence on your account).

PayPal: instant. The buyer's payment goes straight to your PayPal balance; Trevul doesn't sit in the middle. Withdrawal to your bank is on PayPal's normal terms.

Do I need payouts set up before I list?

Yes. You connect at least one payout method (Stripe Connect or a PayPal email) before you can publish a listing — buyer funds route straight to your payout account the moment a sale closes, so there has to be somewhere for them to land. Trevul never holds your money.

Why is there no "Trevul holds the funds" step?

Stripe: the buyer's charge is split at capture — Trevul's fee comes to us and your share lands directly on your Stripe Connect balance in the same moment. There's no separate transfer and no float on Trevul's side.

PayPal: the buyer's payment lists you as the payee, so funds skip Trevul entirely. (Once PayPal Marketplaces partner approval lands, we'll take a fee at capture time the same way Stripe does. Until then, PayPal sales settle gross to you and Trevul's per-sale FVF on PayPal isn't auto-collected.)

When is each step "done" from Trevul's view?

Your Transactions page shows every sale with its current status. Stripe rows show Paid out as soon as the buyer's charge captures (your share lands on your Connect balance then); PayPal rows show Paid out as soon as the capture clears. Disputes and refunds get their own statuses with the action that triggered them.
