How to Access Payouts and Manage Funds on GiveSendGo

After you've connected to your campaign as the recipient, you’ll likely want to know how and when those funds become available to you. This article walks you through how payouts on GiveSendGo work, from choosing between manual and automatic payouts to understanding timelines, fees, and more.

Automatic vs. Manual Payouts

GiveSendGo offers two types of payouts, and you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

You can switch between automatic and manual payouts at any time if your needs change.

Note: The switch will take effect seven days after making the change.

Automatic Payouts

Automatic payouts offer a hands-free way to manage your campaign earnings. Once enabled, funds are automatically sent to your connected bank account on a regular schedule—no action needed on your part.

You can choose the frequency that works best for you:

• Weekly
• Bi-weekly
• Monthly
  

This is a great option if you prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach.

Manual Payouts

Manual payouts give you more control over when your funds are sent. When your balance becomes available, you can manually trigger a transfer by clicking Send Payout Request.

Transfer Timing and Deposit Windows

Knowing when to expect your funds helps you plan ahead:

• First payout: Funds from your first donation become available five days after it’s received (assuming your ID and campaign are verified)
• Ongoing donations: Future donations become available on a three-day rolling basis
• Deposit timing: Once a payout is processed, funds typically land in your bank account within 2–3 business days

Non-USD payouts may take longer depending on your currency and country.

Let's Break It Down

Let’s walk through an example to make payout timing even clearer. Let’s say your campaign receives donations on:

• 1 May

• 3 May

• 5 May

• 11 May

Your first payout could be requested on May 6, but it would only include your first two donations since donations must satisfy a three-day settlement period before becoming eligible. So, you could:

• Submit a second payout for your third donation on May 8, or
• Wait until May 14 to request a payout that includes your third and fourth donations together

Pro Tip: There’s no extra fee for making multiple payout requests on GiveSendGo. However, waiting to combine donations into a single payout can help you simplify your accounting or personal record-keeping if you prefer making fewer transfers.

Minimums, Fees, and Security

While GiveSendGo strives to make payouts easy, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:

• Minimum payout amounts: These vary by country; you can check the minimum payout for your region here
• Processing fees: See our full fee breakdown for details
• Security: Always keep your bank details current to avoid payout issues

We may occasionally request further documentation to meet legal or compliance standards.
