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, and Interac e-Transfer uses a $50 USD minimum for Canada.
Payout preferences affect royalty payouts, not subscription billing. Subscription payment methods live in Stripe Billing.

Stripe Connect status
