Pending means the payout is not in your bank. The label is Waiting to be sent to your bank. In transit means Sent toward your bank, not confirmed. Neither is paid. Paid is only Stripe reports paid, and even that can later fail or be returned by the bank. Payouts are not open, so you should not have a live payout to reconcile yet.
Where to go
The pending label is Waiting to be sent to your bank. In transit is Sent toward your bank, not confirmed. Held and Under review are also not paid.
What to do
- Open the payout screen if your account shows one.
- Match the label to pending, in transit, paid, failed, canceled, held, or under review.
- If the label is unclear, contact support with the payout reference.
- Do not paste a full account number.
What you should see
When a payout row exists, the labels are Submitted to the payment partner, Waiting to be sent to your bank, Sent toward your bank, not confirmed, Stripe reports paid, Not paid — the bank payout failed, Canceled before it was paid, Held, and Under review. Waiting and in transit are not paid. Stripe reports paid still tells you to confirm with your bank, because a later return can change it. No payout row is expected while payouts are not open.
What this does not mean
- Pending is not paid.
- In transit is not paid.
- A held or under-review payout is not paid.
