Track your store's balance and payouts
See what your store is owed in each currency, ask for a payout, follow each payout and read every entry in the store's ledger.
In the dashboard
Payouts shows what your store is owed from its live sales, in each currency, and the payouts that paid it. Coritan takes the payment for each order as the merchant of record, keeps its commission and pays you the rest once the sale's hold has ended. Coritan's staff approve and send every payout. The Ledger lists each movement of the store's money, from a sale to the payout that paid it.
Before you begin
Section titled Before you begin- You need the Billing role or higher to open Payouts. To ask for a payout, you need the Admin or Owner role.
- Coritan pays out once it has approved the store's merchant profile, and never while staff have suspended the store. Sales still add to the balance in the meantime.
- Coritan's staff set where payouts are sent: to a Stripe Connect account, to a PayPal account or by manual transfer. To change it, ask support.
- Only live orders count, so while the store is in test mode its orders add nothing to the balance.
Read the balance
Section titled Read the balance- In the dashboard, open the organization, then Commerce, then Payouts.
- Find the currency's row on the Balance card. The card's description says how often the store is paid.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Pending | Money that is not yours to take yet: sales and shipping in their hold, less the commission, and reserves waiting to be released. |
| Available | Money that has come out of its hold, less refunds and chargebacks. Below zero, it shows Owed. |
| Reserved | The reserve your terms set, if any: part of each sale held back from what is available until its release date. |
| Payable now | Available less Reserved, never below zero. A payout takes this amount. |
| Payout | The payout still open in the currency, or what happens next. |
A sale comes out of its hold after the number of days that Sales become payable gives in your merchant profile's terms, or once every parcel in the order is delivered, if that comes first. A reserve keeps its own date. Read the terms shows where to find both.
The Payout column shows one of these:
- The open payout, such as Payout #812, with its amount and where it stands. A currency has one open payout at a time.
- Request payout…, for owners and admins, once what is payable reaches the currency's minimum. Billing members see Paid on the schedule in its place.
- Held, while payouts are held.
- A note that what is payable is below the currency's minimum, which it names.
- Nothing payable yet.
How payouts are made
Section titled How payouts are madeCoritan makes payouts on the store's schedule, which you set under Pay out in Settings: Daily, Weekly or Monthly, in UTC. In each day, week or month, it makes at most one payout in each currency, as soon as what is payable in it reaches the minimum. The payout takes all of Payable now, which leaves the balance as soon as the payout is made. Coritan's staff then approve it and send it to the payout account. Money that becomes payable later waits for the next payout.
Request a payout
Section titled Request a payoutOwners and admins can ask for a payout without waiting for the schedule.
- On the Balance card, select Request payout… in the currency's row.
- Check the amount, then type it as the dialog shows it, such as
184.25. - Select Request payout. Go back closes the dialog without asking.
The payout appears under Payouts, awaiting approval. It counts as the period's payout in its currency, so the schedule makes the next one in the next day, week or month. The organization can ask up to 10 times an hour.
Follow a payout
Section titled Follow a payout- On the Payouts card, choose All, Open, Completed, Declined or Cancelled. Open shows how many payouts are waiting for approval or on their way.
- When the store sells in more than one currency, choose one in the list that starts at Every currency.
- Select a payout to open its page.
Each row shows the Payout with how it was made (Scheduled, Requested or Made by Coritan staff) and how many entries it pays, its Status, the Amount sent with the commission taken, and the dates it was Made and Paid.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Awaiting approval | Coritan's staff have not approved it yet. Its page says Waiting for Coritan. |
| Processing | Coritan approved it, and its page says Being sent. Not confirmed yet means that the payment provider has not confirmed it: Coritan checks with the provider, then completes the payout or returns its entries to the balance. It is never sent twice. |
| Completed | It was paid, on the date under Paid. |
| Declined | The payment provider refused it. Its page gives the provider's reason. |
| Cancelled | Coritan's staff cancelled it. |
The entries of a declined or cancelled payout go back to the balance, and the next payout pays them. The payout's Amount then says Back in the balance.
A payout's page breaks its amount down by type of entry, such as Sales and Platform commission, under What it pays. The card reads What it paid once the payout is completed, and What it would have paid once it is declined or cancelled. Details gives the Commission within the payout, the Method, the provider's Reference for the payment, and who or what made it under Made by. Ledger entries lists the entries it pays, oldest first, and ends with the payout itself.
Read the ledger
Section titled Read the ledger- On the Balance card, select Open ledger.
- Choose All, Pending, Available, Reserved, In a payout or Excluded.
- To see one order's entries, search by its number, such as
1042, or by its order ID. - Narrow the list by currency when the store sells in more than one, by type in the list that starts at Every type, or by when entries were booked: Any time, Last 7 days, Last 30 days or Last 90 days.
Each entry shows when it was Booked, the Entry with a link to its order or payout, its Status and its Amount. A positive amount adds to what the store is owed, and a negative one takes from it. A pending or reserved entry gives the date it becomes available, and an entry in a payout links to that payout.
| Type | What it records |
|---|---|
| Sale | An order's items, after discounts and without tax. |
| Shipping | What the shopper paid for shipping, without tax. |
| Platform commission | Coritan's commission on the sale and its shipping, as a negative amount. A refund books a positive one for the commission on the part it refunds. |
| Reserve held and Reserve released | A pair of entries: the first holds part of a sale back, and the second gives it back on the reserve's release date. |
| Refund | The part of a sale and its shipping that you refunded. |
| Chargeback | A dispute: the disputed amount and the dispute fee, taken at once. If you win, the amount is booked back, and the fee too when the payment provider returns it. |
| Tax | The tax on an order, marked For the tax authority. The Coritan company that sold the order owes it to the tax authority. |
| Gift card sold | A gift card sold on the storefront, marked Paid out when spent. The money becomes part of the sale of the order that spends the card. |
| Payout | A payout, which takes the entries it pays out of the balance. A declined or cancelled payout books a second one that puts them back. |
Tax and gift cards sold are Excluded: they never count towards the balance.
Note
Test orders book to a ledger of their own, which is never paid out. To read it, choose Test money in place of Live money.
