What You Need
Producer Profile
You must have a producer profile that can use producer-facing features like Finances.
Active Payout Setup
Complete the BEATPAY bank payout setup in Finances (legacy Stripe Connect accounts stay eligible until they move).
Verified Details
Provide the country, identity, tax, and bank details requested by the active payout setup.
Earnings Streams and Payout Routes
Exclusive-sale payouts and subscription contribution payouts are separate earnings streams, but they use the same payout setup. Once your BEATPAY bank account is active, both streams pay to your bank. Producers still on a legacy Stripe Connect account keep receiving both streams through Stripe until their BEATPAY setup is active — after that, all new earnings move to BEATPAY and the Stripe account closes automatically once its remaining balance pays out. Standard Licensing is available only while every credited producer has an active subscription payout route. If that route is not ready, an eligible producer can still publish Exclusive Only offers.Current Payout Routes
BEATPAY
Eligible producers can set up Wise-powered bank payouts from Finances when Set up BEATPAY appears.
Stripe Connect (Legacy)
Producers who connected Stripe in the past keep receiving payouts through it until their BEATPAY setup is active. New Stripe accounts can no longer be connected.
Readiness Signals
If your active route is Stripe Connect, BeatPass checks these signals behind the scenes:
If BEATPAY is available, Finances shows the bank payout setup state instead. A ready BEATPAY setup can show Bank payouts active or Bank account ready. A setup that needs review can show Bank setup needs a quick review.
The main BeatPass Finances page focuses on connection and payout readiness at a high level. A payout provider 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:- The transaction can appear as Excluded
- Your share can be redistributed among eligible producers
- Future payouts can work normally once your setup is complete
