Understand your earnings and payouts

See how much you have earned, when payouts happen, and how to track your revenue.

Before you start

  • Monetization is active.
  • At least one payment has been processed.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Monetization — the overview shows your total earnings this month.
  2. 2
    Monthly Revenue is the total charged to subscribers this month.
  3. 3
    Net Revenue is after platform and payment processing fees are deducted.
  4. 4
    Payouts happen automatically on a schedule set in your Stripe account (typically monthly).
  5. 5
    To check your payout schedule, open your Stripe dashboard.
  6. 6
    DCAST shows you a summary; Stripe holds the detailed breakdown of every transaction.
  7. 7
    If a payout is late, check Stripe for any pending verification requests.

Expected result

You can see your monthly revenue and know when to expect payouts without needing to count manually.

Common problems

I see revenue but have not received a payout.

Check your Stripe payout schedule — there is usually a holding period before the first payout (often 7–14 days).

The earnings amount looks wrong.

The figure shown is before fees. Check the Stripe dashboard for the net amount after payment processing fees.

Stripe is asking for more verification.

Log in to Stripe and complete any outstanding identity or bank verification steps — this is required before payouts can be released.
