Understanding your event payout and payout receipt

Updated over a week ago

Events are paid out, by default, within 5 business days after your event date ends. When a payout is actioned, you'll receive a payout confirmation email and an attached PDF payout receipt with a breakdown of the funds paid to you.

Payouts from Humanitix only occur for events and sales that have been transacted on the Humanitix payment gateway.

If you have connected Stripe as your payment gateway, your payouts are managed directly within your Stripe account. Payments are sent directly to your Stripe account, which routes the funds—minus any applicable fees—to the linked bank account.

Stripe is required for all events not running in AUD, NZD, GBP or USD. It is an optional gateway for these 4 currencies.
