Setting up payouts
Connect Stripe so customers can pay your store and the money reaches your bank. The whole verification flow runs on Stripe; once they confirm your details, sales pay out on your chosen schedule.
Setting up payouts
Zillo uses Stripe to take customer payments and pay you out. You'll connect a Stripe account during setup; Stripe handles the identity check, bank details, and money movement. Once Stripe confirms you're verified, your store can accept payments and the money lands in your bank on Stripe's normal payout schedule.
Connect your account
- Open Settings → Payments in the dashboard.
- Click "Connect Stripe". Stripe takes over and walks you through their hosted onboarding.
- Fill in your business details. Stripe asks for an ID check, your business address, and a bank account. They guide you field-by-field.
- Return to Zillo. When you're done you land back on the Payments settings page. A "Connected" badge appears and "Connect Stripe" is replaced by "Open Stripe dashboard".
When you can start selling
For most businesses, you can take payments within minutes of finishing Stripe's onboarding. For some — usually if Stripe wants extra documentation — verification takes longer. Until Stripe confirms you're verified, the Payments settings page shows a "Verification pending" banner.
While you wait, flip on Test mode from Settings → Payments to simulate the whole checkout flow without real money. Useful for checking your product pages, customer emails, and receipt format before going live.
When payouts happen
Stripe controls how often money moves to your bank — typically daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your country. You can change the schedule from the Stripe dashboard (click "Open Stripe dashboard" from Payments settings → Settings → Payouts).
Zillo doesn't sit in the money flow. Customer charges go straight to your Stripe account; Zillo takes its 2% platform fee at the same time, but never holds your money.
Payouts taking too long? Most often it's Stripe asking for another document, or a mismatch in your bank details. Open Stripe's dashboard from Zillo and check their notifications panel — they'll explain exactly what's missing.
