• 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 business days-7days). Check with stripe support for accurate number of days.
