Seller guide
How payouts work
Simple, transparent, and secure. Here's exactly how you get paid when you sell on AI Card Marketplace.
Section 1
How you get paid
Selling on AI Card Marketplace is straightforward. Once your item sells and ships, your earnings are sent directly to your bank account through Stripe Connect — our secure payout partner.
Secure and verified
Stripe handles all payment processing and identity verification. Your financial information is never stored on our servers.
Weekly payouts
All eligible payouts are sent every Monday. You'll always know when to expect your money.

Why payouts can be delayed
If your payout is delayed, you'll see the reason clearly in your dashboard. Here are the most common causes and how to resolve them.
Missing or invalid tracking
Upload a valid tracking number as soon as you ship. Orders without tracking cannot be released.
Add tracking in your seller dashboard.
Delivery not confirmed
Orders $500+ require carrier delivery confirmation before payout is released.
Use a carrier that provides delivery scans.
Signature required
Orders $2,000+ require signature confirmation. Make sure you select a signature-required shipping method.
Choose a signature-required service when shipping.
Buyer dispute opened
If a buyer opens a dispute, your payout is temporarily held while the case is reviewed.
Respond promptly to any dispute notifications.
Fraud review triggered
Unusual order patterns may trigger an automatic review. Most reviews are resolved quickly.
Ensure your listings are accurate and your account is verified.
Stripe verification pending
Stripe may request additional identity or business information to comply with financial regulations.
Complete all Stripe verification steps in your payout settings.
Payout setup incomplete
You must complete Stripe Connect onboarding before any payouts can be released.
Go to Payouts → Complete payout setup.
Section 5
Example payout breakdown
Here's a real example showing exactly how a $20 sale is calculated for a Basic plan seller.
| Item price | $20.00 |
| Shipping | $4.00 |
| Stripe processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) | −$0.88 |
| Marketplace fee (Basic 7%) | −$1.40 |

This is an example only. Your actual payout depends on your subscription tier, shipping cost, and whether the buyer is domestic or international. Tax is paid by the buyer and is not included in your payout.
