Payments & Payouts
How you receive your gifts and funds

You don't need to link a bank account to create or share an event page. When you're ready to receive payouts, you'll complete a quick, guided setup powered by Stripe to securely connect your bank account.
How do payouts work?
Payouts are automatic and sent weekly on Tuesdays. Once your bank account is connected through Stripe, available funds are transferred directly to your nominated bank account. Most transfers arrive within 1–2 business days, depending on your bank.

How long does it take to receive my payout?
Payouts are sent weekly on Tuesdays. After Stripe sends the payout, it typically arrives in your bank account within 1–2 business days, depending on your bank. Your first payout may take longer (up to 5–7 business days) while Stripe completes a one-time account verification.
Does PocketWell hold my money?
No. PocketWell does not hold or store your funds. Payments are processed by Stripe, and payouts are sent to your bank account on the weekly Tuesday payout schedule once funds are available.
Who handles payments and payouts?
