DukaLive Payouts and Settlements

Vendors need more than a vague promise that money will arrive eventually. They need to see what is pending, what is already available, and when more earnings will unlock.

How DukaLive releases earnings

On DukaLive, a successful order records vendor net earnings in the ledger first. Those funds stay pending until their `withdrawableAt` time. Once that release window ends, they move into available balance automatically and can be withdrawn.

How live sales unlock

Live sales do not become withdrawable while the session is still open. After the live ends, those earnings usually unlock about 7 minutes later. That means vendors can see sales recorded immediately without being misled about what is withdrawable right now.

Why predictable settlement matters

Cash flow matters to growing businesses. Predictable payouts help vendors know when they can reorder stock, cover delivery operations, or fund the next sales session without guessing.

How payout fees work

DukaLive applies a fixed payout fee when vendors withdraw earnings. This is separate from the platform fee per successful order, and the distinction matters because one fee is tied to sales while the other is tied to withdrawal.
