When you make a sale on Whatnot, your money first processes as earnings. Once it’s available in your account balance, you can start a payout to send your funds to your chosen bank account.

Add or edit your payout method 

Your payout method is the bank account where we send your earnings. 

Before your first payout: Verify as seller to add a payout method. This helps keep your account secure and makes sure we’re paying the right person.

You can add a new payout method or update your existing one at any time to make sure your payments go to the right place.

Add or edit payout method in the app
  1. Open the app
  2. Tap Seller Hub at the bottom of the screen
  3. Scroll down and go to Payouts
  4. Tap Add a Payout Method or Edit Payout Settings to open Stripe Connect in your browser

If you’re adding a payout method for the first time, you’ll create or connect a Stripe account, verify your personal information, and choose the bank account for your payouts.

If you already have a payout method, follow the prompts in Stripe Connect to update it. 

Tip: PayPal isn’t available for new payouts anymore. If you added it before it was removed, you can keep using it.
