Payouts & balances
When a client pays an invoice through Stripe, the money doesn't land in your bank account instantly — it clears through Stripe first, then gets paid out to your connected bank account on a schedule. This page is where that whole flow is visible: your current balance, your payout history, and the schedule controlling when money actually moves.
Open it from Payments in the sidebar. It has two tabs: Payouts (this page) and Payments & disputes (see below).
This page needs a connected Stripe account. If your account hasn't completed Stripe onboarding yet, you'll see a prompt to go to Payment & Payout Setup instead of balance data.
Balance summary
Three figures at the top:
- Ready to send now (Available)
Cleared funds Stripe could pay out today.
- On the way to your bank
Payouts Stripe has already initiated but haven't landed yet.
- Still clearing
Payments that have come in but haven't finished clearing inside Stripe — not payable out yet.
Payout schedule
New businesses start on automatic daily payouts, so money reaches your bank without anyone having to send it. From this page you can change the cadence to weekly (pick the day) or monthly (pick the date), or switch to manual payouts, where nothing goes out until you click Payout now. Your choice sticks — reconnecting Stripe or finishing setup later doesn't reset it.
If your balance is eligible, you'll also see an Instant payout option — this moves eligible funds to your bank right away for a fee, and Tabulox asks you to confirm before charging it since (unlike a normal payout) it isn't free.
Payout history
A list of past payouts with status, amount, destination bank account, and arrival date — this is Stripe's own payout ledger, not something Tabulox recalculates. If a payout fails, the failure reason from Stripe shows here too.
Bank accounts
Your connected payout destination(s) show with the bank name and last 4 digits of the account number, along with whether that account is eligible for instant payouts.
Payments & disputes
The Payments & disputes tab (owners and admins) shows your online payments through Stripe, right inside Tabulox. From there you can refund a payment, respond to a dispute (a chargeback), and update your business and bank details with Stripe. You can also refund straight from an invoice — see Invoices.
For money received in a period — online or recorded by hand — use the revenue report by payment date.
If a number here looks off, check Invoices for the specific invoice and Receivables for anything still outstanding — Payouts only reflects money that's already been collected, not what's still owed.
