When do I get paid on Printlooper?

Who gets paid through Stripe Connect?

Designers receive royalties and suppliers receive production cost plus shipping reimbursement through Stripe Connect transfers. Sellers connect Stripe for subscription billing and per-order fulfillment charges rather than for receiving marketplace payouts, your profit stays in the retail channel minus what Printlooper bills when orders ship.

Every payee completes Stripe onboarding during account setup so transfers can run automatically without manual invoicing.

When do payouts start?

Royalties and supplier transfers generally begin after an order is marked shipped and clears the normal review window. That window gives the platform time to handle quality checks, refunds, or disputes before funds release. Orders still in production, awaiting acceptance, or under refund review do not trigger designer or supplier payouts.

Sellers are charged fulfillment economics, production, royalty, platform fee, transaction fee, and shipping, on the shipped order timeline as well, keeping cash flow aligned with completed work.

Subscription invoices for Printlooper software are billed on their own cadence through Stripe and are unrelated to per-order payout timing; think of subscriptions as platform access and payouts as marketplace settlement.

How fast are payouts by plan?

Designers: Every 2 weeks on Free, Weekly on Basic, Within 48 hours on Pro.

Suppliers: Every 2 weeks on Free, Weekly on Basic, Within 48 hours on Pro. Faster tiers reduce the time between shipment and available balance; they do not change the underlying split math on each order.

What can delay a payout?

Disputes, refund requests, chargebacks, or fraud review can place holds on specific orders. Incomplete Stripe Connect verification also blocks transfers until resolved. If a shipment is reversed or corrected, associated transfers adjust to match the final order state.

These holds apply per order rather than freezing entire accounts, so unrelated fulfilled work can still pay on schedule when eligible.

Sellers may see parallel delays on fulfillment charges when refunds are processed; designer and supplier payouts for the same order generally move together once the order reaches a final shipped or refunded state.

Where do I track earnings?

Designers see royalty history and projections in the designer dashboard; suppliers see job payouts and transfer status in supplier billing views. Sellers monitor profit through the margin calculator at listing time and order-level cost breakdowns after sales.

For tax and accounting, treat Stripe Connect statements as the source of truth for designer and supplier cash received; sellers reconcile retail revenue in Shopify or Printlooper storefront reports against fulfillment charges issued by the platform.

Payout schedules differ by role and plan, but the trigger is the same: shipped orders that are not under active dispute. Upgrading to Basic or Pro primarily accelerates how quickly eligible balances move from pending to paid rather than changing the per-order split percentages.
