Overview

After connecting Stripe Connect, Knead aggregates your customer payments and transfers them to your bank account on a schedule you control. You can view every payout, see fees deducted, and track the net amount deposited.

​
Setting Your Payout Schedule

You choose how often Stripe sends money to your bank.
  1. Open Settings from the main navigation.
  2. Tap Payments.
  3. Under Payout Schedule, select your preferred frequency:
    • Daily — Stripe transfers your available balance every business day.
    • Weekly — Stripe transfers your available balance once per week on the day you choose.
  4. Tap Save.
Changes to your payout schedule take effect on the next payout cycle. Payments already in transit are not affected.
Pro tip: Weekly payouts give you a single, larger deposit to reconcile each week. Daily payouts get money into your account faster. Choose whichever fits your bookkeeping style.

​
How Payouts Work

Here is what happens between a customer payment and the money arriving in your bank.
  1. Customer pays — A customer pays an invoice through Stripe. The payment amount enters your Stripe balance.
  2. Knead batches payments — Stripe groups all payments received since your last payout.
  3. Fees are deducted — Stripe subtracts processing fees from the batch total.
  4. Net amount transfers — The remaining amount is sent to your connected bank account.
Stripe typically takes 2 business days to complete a transfer after it is initiated. This is standard for all Stripe Connect accounts.
Good to know: Manual payments (cash, check, Venmo) are not included in Stripe payouts. Those funds are already in your hands. Knead tracks them separately on each invoice.

​
Viewing Your Payout History

  1. Open Settings from the main navigation.
  2. Tap Payments.
  3. Scroll to the Payout History section.
Each payout entry shows:
  • Date — When the payout was initiated.
  • Total collected — The gross amount of customer payments included in this payout.
  • Fees deducted — The combined Stripe processing fees for all payments in the batch.
  • Net deposited — The amount transferred to your bank account.
Tap any payout to see the individual payments that make up that batch. This drills down to the invoice level so you can trace every dollar.

​
Understanding Payout Statuses

Each payout has a status that tells you where it is in the process.
StatusWhat It Means
InitiatedStripe has started the transfer. Funds are on their way to your bank.
CompletedThe transfer arrived in your bank account.
FailedThe transfer could not be completed. Check your bank details in Stripe.
If a payout fails, Stripe retries automatically in most cases. Check that your bank account details are correct in your Stripe dashboard. Knead displays a briefing card on The Counter when a payout status changes so you stay informed without digging through settings.

​
Briefing Cards for Payout Updates

Knead surfaces payout status updates as briefing cards on The Counter. When a payout is initiated, completed, or fails, you see a card at the top of your dashboard. This keeps important financial updates visible without requiring you to check settings manually.
