Payouts

You don't need to request a payout. MintLink pays you automatically every Friday, before 5 PM IST, to the bank account or UPI ID you've added.

#The three rules

1. Each sale clears before it's paid out. How long that takes depends on how the buyer paid (see below). The wait protects against failed payments, refunds and chargebacks.
2. The minimum payout is ₹100. If your payable balance is below ₹100 on a Friday, it carries forward to the next Friday. Nothing is lost.
3. Your payout details must be verified. See Add your bank or UPI details.

#How long a sale takes to clear

Most sales are paid in India, so for most creators the 3-day rule is the only one that matters.

International cards take longer because our payment gateway pays these sales out to MintLink 7 working days after payment, and MintLink adds a 2-day buffer. Only creators in the international selling beta accept international cards.

#Why is some of my money "on hold"?

Each sale clears separately. On any given day your older sales are payable, while the newest ones show as On hold until they clear. That's expected.

Paid in India: a sale on Monday clears on Thursday and goes out that Friday. A sale on Wednesday or Thursday clears after Friday, so it goes out the following Friday.

International card: a sale on Wednesday 4 November clears 9 working days later, on Tuesday 17 November, and goes out on Friday 20 November. Weekends don't count, so 9 working days is 11 to 13 calendar days.

On your dashboard, Your money shows what's still clearing. If both kinds of sale are clearing at once, it lists Paid in India and International cards separately, each with the date it unlocks.

#Where to see it

Open Payouts in your dashboard.

• 1 Available balance: what goes out on the next payout.
• 2 On hold: sales still clearing, each with how it was paid and the date it clears.
• Total earned and total withdrawn, all time.
• 3 The weekly schedule and how long each kind of sale takes to clear.

Further down, Payout history lists every payout you've received.

#A payout looks late

Check these in order:

1. Is your payable balance at least ₹100?
2. Are your payout details verified? Look under Bank account.
3. Has the sale cleared? A sale paid in India needs 3 days before Friday. An international card sale needs 9 working days.

If all three are fine and a payout still hasn't arrived by the next working day, raise a support ticket.
