Getting Paid

Setting Up Stripe

Sellwild pays you through Stripe. Setup takes about two minutes and you only do it once.

Open My Wallet from your account menu. Until you've connected, the top of the page shows a "Set up payouts" card. Pick the country your bank account is in, then start setup — Stripe collects your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number and bank details directly. We never see any of it.

Once you're verified you also get a trust badge on your seller profile.

Finishing Setup

Stripe rarely takes everything in one pass. If it still needs something, your wallet lists exactly what — in plain language, not Stripe's field names — and how many items are left.

Common ones:

• A bank account to receive payouts — where your sales get deposited
• A photo of your government ID — driver license, passport or state ID
• Your Social Security number — required by US law to pay you
• Your home address — a residential address, not a PO box

"Finish setup" takes you straight back to Stripe's form. Nothing is lost between visits.

When Stripe Needs Something Fixed

Sometimes Stripe can't verify what you sent. When that happens your wallet shows three things: what went wrong, Stripe's own explanation, and the specific step that fixes it.

For example, if the ID you uploaded has expired, you'll see "That ID has expired" along with "Upload a current, unexpired ID." If your details couldn't be matched against public records, you'll be told to check your name, date of birth, SSN and address for typos.

Items marked Overdue are the urgent ones — the card shows the date Stripe pauses your account if they aren't resolved. You can keep selling in the meantime, but payouts are held until it's sorted.

Fix this now reopens Stripe at the form that needs correcting, rather than starting you over.

While Stripe Is Verifying

After you've sent everything, Stripe reviews it. Your wallet shows "Verifying" and there's nothing for you to do — this usually clears within a day or two.

If you've just come back from Stripe and the page looks out of date, Check again re-reads your status immediately.

Receiving Payouts

Once you're cleared, the card shrinks to the only thing that matters: what you're owed.

You'll see the amount ready to pay out, anything still settling from recent sales, the bank account it lands in, and the date it arrives. Payouts run automatically — money transfers 2-3 business days after an order completes.

Manage payouts on Stripe opens your Stripe dashboard, where you can change your bank account or read your full payout history.

Fees

The following fees are deducted automatically before payout:

• Stripe processing: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
• Platform commission on the sale price

The net amount after fees is what you receive in your payout.

Viewing Earnings

Your wallet shows your total earned and how many sales it took. Nothing appears before your first sale.

Once your earnings span more than one month, See breakdown opens the full summary — total net earnings, number of sales, and your yearly average — along with a month-by-month chart you can switch years on.
