My Payout is Delayed
💰 My Payout Is Delayed
🔹 Step 1: Check Payout Status in Your Wallet
Livily typically releases payments within 24–48 hours after guest check-in, with exception of weekends and holidays.
Go to Wallet from the left-hand menu. You’ll see two sections:
Upcoming Payouts → Scheduled payments for upcoming or recently completed stays.
Payout History → Completed payments that have already been processed to your account (after Stripe’s 2.9% fee)
Each payout will show:
-
Property / Guest name
-
Status (Scheduled / Paid)
-
Date range of stay
-
Amount
🔹 Step 2: Understand Your Payout Status
Status | Meaning | Action |
---|---|---|
Scheduled | The payout is queued and will be released shortly after guest check-in. | Allow 1–3 business days after check-in for processing. |
Paid | The payout has been processed successfully and deposited to your connected account. | Funds should appear in your bank account shortly. |
Pending (rare) | Payment is being reviewed or held due to an issue. | See troubleshooting steps below. |
🔹 Step 3: If It’s Still “Scheduled” After a Few Days
If the status remains Scheduled and more than a few business days have passed since the check-in date, check the following:
-
Verify your payout account is connected
-
Go to Wallet → Account Details → Update Bank Account.
-
Make sure your Stripe or bank connection is active and verified.
-
-
Check if the booking had a corporate discount or adjustment
-
Corporate stays or promotions may affect payout timing or amount.
-
Verify the net amount under View Details in your Wallet.
-
-
Confirm the booking status
-
Payments are only released for completed or ongoing stays.
-
Canceled or modified bookings may have adjusted payout schedules.
-
If all settings look correct and the payout still shows as Scheduled beyond 3 business days post-check-in, open a support ticket.
🔹 Step 4: If It’s Marked “Paid” but You Haven’t Received Funds
If the payout shows as Paid but isn’t in your account:
-
Check the transfer date shown in your Wallet.
-
Bank transfers may take 1–3 business days after processing.
-
Confirm your bank account information matches your active Stripe or payout method.
-
If the funds haven’t arrived after 3 business days, contact Livily Support with:
-
Booking ID
-
Property name
-
Payout amount and date
-
