How do I receive my payouts?
As an independent service provider using our platform, you receive payments from your customers via the external payment service Stripe. This article explains how the payout process works, when payments are transferred to your bank account, and how you can track or accelerate a payout if needed.
Please note: Cash payments are not permitted and violate Helpling’s guidelines. Accepting cash payments can lead to the termination of your access to the platform. All payments must be processed digitally via the platform and our external payment provider Stripe, ensuring transparency and security for both you and your customers.
