Stripe Connect, Country Availability, and Payouts
If you want to sell paid books on Cafaye, your seller setup matters.
Country availability matters first
Stripe Connect is not available in every country.
Check official Stripe pages before planning paid rollout:
If your country is unsupported, keep your model free until supported options are available.
Payout expectations
Payouts are not instant cashflow, and that is intentional.
On Cafaye, eligible sales are prepared on a weekly payout cycle (about every 7 days). A sale also needs to clear the minimum payout delay window before it is payout-eligible.
This buffer helps manage normal payment risk windows such as refunds, disputes, and reversals before funds are paid out.
Payout readiness depends on:
- Stripe Connect setup being complete
- account status being payout-ready
- no open dispute hold on the sale
- normal settlement timing
Operate with a cashflow buffer so payout timing never forces bad decisions.
Practical payout habits
- monitor payout readiness status
- reconcile expected vs received payouts regularly
- investigate anomalies early
- keep clean records for accounting and tax workflows
Treat payouts as an operating system, not a background detail.
