Payout Preferences in Velveteen
Updated June 12, 2026
Payout preferences tell Velveteen where to send royalty payouts. You choose a country, payout method, and payout email in Settings. PayPal uses a $20 USD minimum, has no payout fee, and usually arrives within 1-2 business days. Interac e-Transfer is Canada-only, uses a $50 USD minimum, is paid on monthly 1st-of-the-month runs, has a 25th cutoff, and has a C$1.50 processing fee when the payout is under $100 USD.
Payout preferences affect royalty payouts, not subscription billing. Subscription payment methods live in Stripe Billing.
