Tracking Your Earnings and Payouts

Use Payments to inspect earnings and unpaid studio share. An earnings total is not proof that money reached your bank.


Open earnings


  1. Open More → Business → Payments.
  2. Select Earnings.
  3. Review Total earned · all time, Unpaid studio share, and Last payout as separate figures.
  4. Inspect the start and end date controls and the earnings rows. The table includes date, project, client, You receive, source, and status.


Read each row’s status alongside its amount. A pending studio share is separate from a completed payout; check Last payout for payout information.


Do not treat Collected (card), outside payment records, gross payment amounts, and your share as interchangeable. Keep the displayed date range and status with any figures you share with your studio.


Payouts and refunds


Card payments go to your Stripe account first. For a shop booking, they go to the shop's Stripe account. Stripe then pays your balance out to your bank on your Stripe payout schedule. Apprentice can't promise a date. A new account's first payout can take longer.


If your shop turns on automatic artist transfers, your share moves into your own Stripe account. That transfer is not a bank payout. Your share then follows your own payout schedule.


If you work in a shop and a payment is refunded, your earnings drop by your share of the refunded payment and tip. See Refunding a Payment.


To export, choose Earnings, pick a start and end date, and choose Export CSV.
