How payouts work with Stripe
When you connect Stripe to your Linktree, any payments you receive go directly into your Stripe account. But to transfer those funds to your bank, Stripe needs to verify your account details.
If your payouts haven’t arrived, your Stripe account might still need to be verified.
If your account has outstanding verification requirements, you'll see a red banner at the top of your Dashboard. Click Review details on the banner to see what is required to verify your account.
Common reasons for payout delays
Stripe pauses payouts until verification is complete. Here are the most common reasons that could be holding things up:
Your Linktree isn't verified as your website
Stripe needs to know what you're offering and confirm that your site is real.
Go to your Stripe Dashboard and add your Linktree URL as your website.
Make sure your Shop tab has at least one visible product or service so Stripe can see what you're selling.
Incomplete or mismatched information
Your personal or business details don’t match official records.
Business registration documents are missing or outdated.
Your ID is blurry, expired, or unsupported.
Proof of address doesn’t match what's been submitted.
Bank account details don’t match the account holder info.
Missing beneficial ownership info
If your business has multiple owners, Stripe may need ID documents for anyone who owns or controls the business.
