Instant payouts (when available) send funds to your bank within minutes instead of waiting for Stripe’s standard schedule (e.g. 2 business days or weekly). A fee usually applies per instant payout.

​
Is it available?

  • Instant payouts depend on your Stripe account and region. Not all accounts or countries support them. If you see Instant payouts in Settings (or Finance / Payouts), you can enable it there. If you do not see it, Stripe may not offer it for your account yet.

​
How to enable

  1. Go to Settings (or Finance → Payouts) and find Instant payouts (or Faster payouts).
  2. Turn it on (toggle or button). You may be asked to confirm the fee (e.g. 1% of the payout amount, minimum $0.50).
  3. After enabling, future eligible payouts can be sent instantly. You may still have the option to use standard payouts for specific transfers; check the UI.

​
Fees

  • Instant payouts typically have a per-payout fee (e.g. 1% of the amount, with a minimum). Standard payouts are usually free. Use instant when you need funds quickly; use standard to avoid the fee when timing is not critical.

​
Limits and eligibility

  • Stripe may limit instant payout amount or frequency. If an instant payout fails or is not offered for a given transfer, the funds will go out on the next standard payout. Check Stripe Dashboard or support for your account’s limits.
