Definitions to understand
- Payment Charges: These are the charges which incurred for every initial payment between a user/buyer credit card/wallet to platform Stripe account (not payout or any other separate charge methods)
- Transfers: Transfer jobs run by TradlyPlatform 3times a day to transfer
- Transfers jobs are payments to sellers log, Commission to Platform stripe, Payments to service provider like delivery boy.
- The transfer is just a notification and a log update that all this charges are done splitting and send to respective destinations.
- Payouts: Payout job initiated by TradlyPlatform to Stripe.
- Then once the payout happens, seller will be able to see his balance in his MY SALES Page
- Then Stripe will takes its time to send the balance to seller bank account (usually 2-7days) depends on country. Check with stripe support
- Similar like Seller, Platform owner will be able to see his balance in his own balance. And can release his payout. Still stripe will take time to send the money to platform owner account
- Same procedures for Delivery boy as well
