If you see Set up BEATPAY in Finances, complete it to prepare eligible exclusive-sale and subscription-pool bank payouts. Finances always shows which earnings streams are active for your account.
What BEATPAY Does
Bank payouts
Set up a bank account so future eligible earnings can be paid through BEATPAY.
All earnings, one setup
Once active, BEATPAY handles all your new earnings — subscription payouts and exclusive sales — in one place.
Currency context
Review source currency, payout currency, exchange-rate movement, and estimated arrival timing when rates are available.
Masked account display
BeatPass shows only enough masked account detail to help you recognize the saved bank account.
Where You See It
Open Backstage and go to Finances. Eligible producers can see one or more of these BEATPAY areas:- Set up BEATPAY on the finance setup card
- BEATPAY bank payouts with Powered by Wise
- Live Exchange Rate for bank payout currency context
- Bank account ready, Bank payouts active, or Bank setup needs a quick review after setup starts

After your bank account is active, all new earnings — subscription-pool payouts and eligible exclusive sales — are paid through BEATPAY. If you previously used Stripe Connect, Stripe keeps paying out only until that moment; its remaining balance still reaches your bank, and the old account then closes automatically. Finances shows the status of each earnings stream.
BEATPAY Statuses
Currency and Arrival Details
When exchange-rate details are available, Finances can show:- Source currency - the currency BeatPass currently uses for the payout source
- Payout currency - the bank account currency you choose during setup
- Live Exchange Rate - recent exchange-rate movement for the selected currency pair
- Estimated payout arrival - an estimate such as Usually 1-2 business days, Arrives within the hour, or Arrives in about 1 day
- Good to know - BeatPass covers the transfer fee, so you receive your full payout
What Does Not Change
- Your existing Stripe Connect account keeps paying out until your BEATPAY setup is active; its remaining balance still reaches your bank before the old account closes
- Your contribution share and payout formulas do not change because you set up BEATPAY
- Your transaction history remains in Finances
- Sale completed, Payout queued, Queued, Sending, Paid, Held, Failed, Refunded, and Excluded describe the relevant sale or subscription state
Common Questions
Why do I not see BEATPAY yet?
Why do I not see BEATPAY yet?
BEATPAY appears when it is available for your producer account. Keep the payout setup shown in Finances active and check there for new setup options.
Do I need to remove Stripe Connect first?
Do I need to remove Stripe Connect first?
No. Just set up BEATPAY — there is nothing to remove. Your Stripe account keeps paying out until your bank setup is active. After that, all new earnings use BEATPAY, any remaining Stripe balance still reaches your bank, and the old Stripe account closes automatically.
