Instant Payouts let you receive your FishingBooker earnings in your bank account shortly after a trip is completed – instead of waiting a few business days.
A 1% fee applies to each Instant Payout.
Who Can Use Instant Payouts
You can use Instant Payouts if:
- You have an active Stripe account connected to FishingBooker
- Your bank account supports instant payouts
Instant Payouts are currently in a testing phase and available to a limited number of captains.
If you’d like to try it, please reach out to your FishingBooker Account Manager.
How Instant Payouts Work
When Instant Payouts are turned on:
- After each completed trip, we send your payout using Stripe Instant Payouts
- Funds typically arrive in your bank account within 30 minutes
- A 1% fee is automatically deducted before the payout reaches your bank
If your bank cannot process the instant transfer, we automatically retry using a standard payout. You’ll still receive your earnings, and no 1% fee will be applied in that case.
How to Turn Instant Payouts On
You can enable Instant Payouts from your payout settings:
- Go to Payments and payouts
- Open Payout methods
- Find the bank account you use for payouts
- Locate the Instant Payouts option
- Switch the toggle to On
Once enabled, all eligible payouts for completed trips will be sent as Instant Payouts, with the 1% fee applied.
How to Turn Instant Payouts Off
You can switch back to standard payouts at any time:
- Go to Payments and payouts
- Open Payout methods
- Find your active bank account
- Locate the Instant Payouts option
- Switch the toggle to Off
When Instant Payouts are off, payouts are processed as standard bank transfers. Funds will arrive within the usual payout timeframe, with no Instant Payout fee.
