Payouts

PulsePlugin uses Stripe Connectto process payouts. When a buyer purchases your plugin, the sale amount (minus Stripe's processing fee and the PulsePlugin platform fee) is credited to your Stripe Connect balance.

Payouts are processed automatically on a monthly schedule, on the 1st of each month for the previous month's earnings. You can also trigger a manual payout at any time once your balance exceeds the minimum threshold.

Before you can receive payouts you must connect a Stripe account:

1. Go to Seller Hub → Settings → Payouts.
2. Click Connect Stripe Account. You will be redirected to Stripe to create or link an existing Stripe Express account.
3. Complete Stripe's identity verification (required by financial regulations). This typically takes 1–2 minutes.
4. Once verified, your Stripe Connect account is linked and payouts will begin automatically.

The minimum payout threshold is $10.00. If your balance is below this at the monthly payout date, earnings roll over to the next cycle. You can lower the threshold by triggering a manual payout.

PulsePlugin and Stripe may require tax forms depending on your location and earnings:

• US sellers — Stripe collects a W-9 form for earnings over $600/year (required for 1099-K reporting).
• Non-US sellers — Stripe may collect a W-8BEN form to confirm non-US status and apply the correct withholding.

Tax forms are submitted through Stripe's dashboard. PulsePlugin does not provide tax advice — consult a tax professional for your specific situation.

If a buyer receives a refund or initiates a chargeback, the corresponding sale amount is deducted from your balance. In the case of a chargeback, Stripe's dispute fee ($15) is also charged.

You can contest chargebacks by submitting evidence through your Stripe dashboard. Contact PulsePlugin support if you need help gathering evidence (download logs, license activation records, etc.).
