Payout Schedule

What it means

A payout schedule is the specific cadence at which a program can expect to receive payouts during and after an active fundraising campaign. Knowing this schedule in advance lets a treasurer plan cash flow around it, rather than being caught off guard by when funds actually become available versus when the campaign shows a given total raised online.

How it works on HypeRaise

Most programs see payouts at regular intervals throughout an active campaign window, with a final payout issued after the campaign officially closes and any remaining pending transactions have cleared. The exact intervals depend on how the program's account is configured and on Stripe's standard payout processing timelines underlying the transfers.

Key details

Understanding the payout schedule matters most when a program has time-sensitive expenses tied to the fundraising effort: a deposit due on a tournament hotel block, a uniform order with a supplier deadline, or a travel booking that needs to be paid before prices increase. A treasurer who knows roughly when funds will actually land in the bank account can plan these commitments with more confidence than one operating on assumptions.

Because payout timing is influenced by underlying Stripe processing rules as well as HypeRaise's own configuration, programs with unusually time-sensitive cash flow needs should confirm expected payout timing directly with their local rep during campaign setup rather than assuming a fixed schedule applies uniformly across every program.
