# Payouts Process

## Introduction

The **Payouts Section** consolidates all eligible earnings that can be disbursed in the next payout cycle. It provides transparency on the net available balance after accounting for all fees, refunds, and taxes.

## Payout Processing and Bank Timelines

1. The dates provided above are the **initiation dates** for payouts.
2. It typically takes **1-2 business days** for the amount to appear in your bank account.
3. Delays may occur if payout processing dates fall on weekends or bank holidays.

## Minimum Payout Threshold

| Currency | Minimum Threshold |
| -------- | ----------------- |
| USD      | \$50              |

<Info>
  If your balance does not meet the threshold, it will carry forward to the next payout cycle.
</Info>

<Warning>
  **INR native wallet discontinued:** Support for the INR native wallet and INR-denominated payouts has been discontinued. Payouts are now consolidated through the USD/GBP/EUR wallets only. INR remains supported as a transaction currency for UPI, RuPay, and Indian-card subscriptions.
</Warning>

<Warning>
  Payouts will only be initiated when the overall wallet balance across all currencies is greater than **\$50 USD** (equivalent). Even if an individual wallet meets its currency-specific threshold, the payout will not be processed unless the total balance exceeds \$50.
</Warning>

## Flexible Minimum Payout Threshold

You can customize the balance that must build up in your USD wallet before Dodo Payments triggers a payout.

**Configuration:**

* **Allowed values:** \$50 or any higher amount
* **Effective from:** Your current payout cycle
* **Note:** Payouts already scheduled (if entry is created in the payout table) remain unchanged
