General

Invoice vs payment vs payout

Any time you complete work that satisfies the requirements of its experience, an invoice will be generated for you. This invoice represents the work that was completed either through work product submitted or work log entries, and the payment(s) that are now due to you.

A payment is the actual amount owed by a payer, such as a company or your portal, for the invoice and represents a transfer of money from a payer to your payment account which acts as a virtual holding account. These payments make up the total amount that was due on their associated invoice.

A payout represents a transfer of money from your payment account to your personal bank account.

Statuses and timing

An invoice, payment, and payout may each appear at different times:

  • Invoices are created when your completed work meets the payment rules for the experience your project is in. Check your project's page to view how and when invoices are created.

  • Payments are created at the same time as the invoice

  • Payment are processed once all payers of the invoice have approved the invoice or the expiry date for disputing an invoice has passed.

  • Payments may fail if the payer's payment method has any issues in processing. If payments fail, they are automatically retried until they are successful. Fails payments are re-attempted daily or at the discretion of Riipen staff.

  • Payouts are created when funds move from your Riipen payment account to your bank account. Payout can only be created once your payment account is fully setup and enabled. Payouts are automatically created daily, but money in your Riiipen payment account only becomes eligible for payout 7 business days after it was received.

FAQs

Why was an invoice created but I have not received a payout?

An invoice being created does not mean money has reached your bank account. Check the invoice state, the associated payment's states, whether your payment account is fully set up and enabled, and whether the funds are still in your payment account total balance, available balance, or in transit to your bank. To receive money to your bank account all of the following must be true:

  1. Your payment account is fully setup and enabled

  2. The invoice is in a state of paid

  3. The associated payments are in a state of paid

  4. The money in your payment account has been in your total balance for at least 7 days

Once the above is true, your money will move to available balance, and then to in transit to your bank before finally arriving in your bank.
