How and when are payouts made?

How Studio payouts are processed and on what schedule, the bank timing to expect, how label campaigns settle differently, the routing used where Stripe is unavailable, and the payment methods fans can use.

Written by Andrea Torres

Payouts run daily through Stripe. You do not wait for a weekly cycle, and there is no minimum balance to reach first.

Timing

How fast the money lands depends on your bank. Once EVEN processes a payout, it takes 24 to 48 hours to reach the account. Your bank controls that window rather than EVEN, so it varies by territory and institution.

Label campaigns

Campaigns for signed artists pay out under the campaign agreement instead of the self-serve daily schedule. Music revenue goes to the label for royalty accounting under that agreement. Your label or distributor contract sets the settlement terms, so ask them rather than EVEN.

Where Stripe is not available

EVEN uses other payout routes in countries where Stripe does not operate. Those include Startbutton across Africa, plus other options depending on the country. Raise the territory with your EVEN team during setup rather than after the first sale, so the route is in place before money starts moving.

What fans can pay with

Fans pay in 140 currencies across 195 countries. They can use all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna and CashApp, plus local methods in many countries. EVEN's percentage covers currency conversion, so you never see it billed separately.

Tracking it

The dashboard shows gross and net alongside daily payout records, and you can export the full data at any time. Your finance team can reconcile every transaction individually, at any point during the campaign rather than only at the end.
