Payout Eligibility

Learn what must be true before BeatPass can send producer earnings through Stripe Connect and what happens when a payout is excluded.

To receive money from BeatPass, you need more than just earnings. Your producer profile and Stripe Connect setup both need to be in a payout-ready state.

What You Need

Producer Profile

You must have a producer profile that can use producer-facing features like Finances.

Stripe Connect Setup

Your payout account must be connected through BeatPass.

Confirmed Country

During setup, you must confirm the country where you reside and have a bank account.

Stripe Readiness Signals

BeatPass checks Stripe readiness behind the scenes to determine whether payouts can proceed:

Signal	What It Means
Connected	BeatPass is linked to your Stripe Connect account
Charges Enabled	Stripe has enabled incoming payment capability for the account
Payouts Enabled	Stripe has enabled payouts from the account

The main BeatPass Finances page focuses on connection and payout readiness at a high level. Stripe may still ask for more details later if regulations or account reviews require it.

What Happens If You Are Not Eligible

If a subscription payout runs while your account is not ready:

1. The transaction can appear as Excluded
2. Your share can be redistributed among eligible producers
3. Future payouts can work normally once your setup is complete

Excluded subscription payouts are not automatically recreated as back pay later. It is important to finish payout setup before you rely on subscription earnings.

How to Check Your Status

1. Open Producer Finances

   Go to Backstage → Finances.

2. Check the dashboard state

   If BeatPass still shows the onboarding panel, your setup is not complete yet.

3. Review warnings and statuses

   Look for signals such as Setup required, Excluded, or any prompt asking for more information.

How to Become Eligible

1. Click Connect Stripe Account Now in Finances
2. Confirm your country carefully
3. Complete the Stripe-hosted onboarding flow
4. Add the payout and identity information Stripe requests
5. Return to BeatPass and finish any remaining prompts if Stripe still needs more information

Common Questions

Do I need Stripe Connect for both track sales and subscription payouts?

Yes. Stripe Connect is the payout path BeatPass uses for producer earnings.

Can I still earn before setup is finished?

Activity can still happen, but you are not safely payout-ready until your Stripe Connect setup is complete.

Why do I see Excluded in Transactions?

That means a subscription split ran while your payout setup was not eligible at that time.

Can I fix eligibility later?

Yes for future payouts. Complete your Stripe setup and keep it active so later splits can process normally.
