How Platforms Pay Out
All guides in this section
How the money comes back is not the seller's choice — the sales channel decides. This section goes through each platform's payout mechanics: how settlement tiers and payout windows are scheduled, how much a reserve or hold ties up, which account you have to link before anything lands, what currency it arrives in, and how fully managed and semi-managed settlement differ. Every guide names the public platform document a rule comes from and the month it was checked; when a platform changes policy the page gets rewritten rather than left standing on an outdated reading.
