Payout
Understand DigetPay payout schedules, cut-off rules, net payout calculation, payout flow, and payout statuses.
Learn how DigetPay transfers available merchant funds to registered bank accounts through scheduled payout batches.
What is a Payout?
A payout is the transfer of a merchant's available funds from DigetPay to their registered bank account or IBAN. After customer payments are processed and funds become available, DigetPay groups eligible amounts into payout batches according to the merchant's configured payout schedule.
Payout Schedules
DigetPay supports three payout schedule types, with one schedule per merchant:
| Payout Type | Schedule | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled Daily | Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday | 3 times per week |
| Weekly | One selected day per week | Once per week |
| Monthly | One selected day per month | Once per month |
Configure Your Payout Schedule
Set up your payout schedule using these configuration options:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Payout type | Choose Scheduled Daily, Weekly, or Monthly |
| Payout days | For Scheduled Daily: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday |
| Weekly payout day | For Weekly payouts only |
| Monthly payout date | For Monthly payouts only |
| Cut-off time | Determines if funds are included in current or next cycle |
| Bank account | Your registered bank account or IBAN |
| Currency | Payout currency (e.g., SAR) |
| Minimum payout amount | Optional: prevents very small payouts |
| Payout status | Current state of your payout |
Cut-off Time Rule
⚠️ Important: The cut-off time is critical for determining when your funds are processed. Funds received after the cut-off time will be included in the next payout cycle.
The cut-off time determines when funds are included in the current payout batch:
| Funds Availability | Action |
|---|---|
| Before cut-off | Included in current payout batch |
| After cut-off | Moved to next payout batch |

Calculate Your Net Payout
DigetPay calculates your net payout by deducting fees, refunds, and VAT, then applying adjustments:
Net Payout = Successful Transactions − Fees − Refunds − Fees ± Adjustments
💡 Tip: Review your payout calculation regularly to understand how fees and refunds impact your final balance.
Scheduled Daily Example
Merchant Configuration: Scheduled Daily payout
Available Balance:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Successful transactions | SAR 10,000 |
| Fees | − SAR 150 |
| Refunds | − SAR 500 |
| VAT | − 15% |
| Adjustments | − SAR 50 |
Calculation:
Net Payout = 10,000 − 150 − 500 − 15% − 50
Net Payout = SAR 7,905If today is Tuesday and funds are available before the cut-off time, SAR 9,400 is included in Tuesday's payout batch and transferred to the merchant's bank account.
Weekly Payout Example
Merchant Configuration: Weekly payout every Wednesday
| Timeline | Action |
|---|---|
| Thursday–Tuesday | Eligible funds are collected |
| Wednesday (before cut-off) | Payout batch is created |
| Wednesday | Net payout is transferred |
| After cut-off | Funds move to next Wednesday cycle |
Monthly Payout Example
Merchant Configuration: Monthly payout on the 25th
| Timeline | Action |
|---|---|
| 1st–24th | Eligible funds are collected |
| 25th (before cut-off) | Payout batch is created |
| 25th | Net payout is transferred |
| After cut-off | Funds move to next monthly cycle |
Track Payout Status
Monitor your payout progress using these status indicators:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Funds waiting for next payout cycle |
| Ready for Payout | Funds available and ready for batch inclusion |
| Processing | Payout batch created and sent for transfer |
| Paid | Funds transferred to merchant bank account |
| Failed | Bank transfer failed; requires retry or review |
| On Hold | Payout blocked due to risk, compliance, dispute, invalid IBAN, or manual review |
🚨 Alert: If your payout status shows Failed or On Hold, contact support immediately to resolve the issue and ensure timely fund transfers.
