In short
Payout tracking shows you live which of the five stages your fee is in — from 'Approval pending' to 'In the account'. It adds an estimated arrival (ETA) and an overdue flag when something is stuck. Everything lives on one record, cross-brand in a single earnings overview.
Which statuses does payout tracking show?
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Approval pending | Content in review; fee held as 'Payment secured' |
| Approved | Brand accepted; payout triggered |
| Scheduled | Payment scheduled; ETA computed |
| Paid out | Money on its way to the bank (Stripe Connect) |
| In the account | Amount credited to the bank account |
What does the estimated arrival (ETA) mean?
The ETA is a calculated expectation of when the money arrives — derived from approval, a possible protective hold (~56 days) and bank transit. It is not a guaranteed date, so it always reads 'expected'.
Why 'expected'?
Bank transit and holds are outside our control. We show the best expectation transparently instead of promising a fixed date we couldn't keep.
What happens if a payment is stuck?
If a payout misses its expected time, tracking flags it as overdue. You see immediately where it's stuck instead of chasing it yourself.
- Overdue flag surfaces delays without asking.
- The status shows whether it's approval, hold or bank.
- No digging through email threads — it's all on the deal record.
Do you see all brands in one place?
Yes. The earnings overview sums your fees across multiple brands, with the status of each payout. That cross-brand view is exactly what pure CRM or discovery tools lack.
Frequently asked

- How do I notice a late payment?
- Tracking sets an overdue flag once a payout misses its expected time — no need to chase it.
