Fanvault Payouts dashboard is the hub creators use to see lifetime earnings, track pending and completed payouts, and confirm the 92% they keep on every sale. It pulls auctions, drops, tips, paid DMs, and subscription revenue into one view so you can reconcile a busy week in a few clicks instead of hopping between Stripe, email receipts, and a spreadsheet.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- The Payouts dashboard surfaces lifetime earnings, pending payouts, completed transfers, and a per-source revenue split in a single screen.
- Every sale shows the buyer total, the 8% Fanvault fee, and your 92% net, so the math is transparent on every transaction.
- Filter by auctions, drops, tips, paid DMs, subscriptions, or wishlist gifts to see which surfaces are actually paying the bills.
- Date range filtering plus a one-click CSV export keeps end-of-quarter bookkeeping painless.
- Stripe Connect handles the bank transfer, and the dashboard shows the deposit date plus the last four digits of the receiving account.
What does the Payouts dashboard show?
The top of the screen anchors on your lifetime payout total, then breaks the rest of the page into pending payouts, completed payouts, and a per-source revenue split. Pending sits at the top because that is the number most creators want first: how much is on the way, and when does it land. Completed payouts list every transfer Stripe has already sent, with the date, amount, and the bank account that received it.
Below those two cards is a source breakdown for auctions, buy-it-now drops, tips, paid DMs, subscriptions, and wishlist gifts. Each source shows gross revenue, the Fanvault 8% fee deducted, and your net. That split is the fastest way to see which part of your storefront is actually paying the rent this month.

|---|---|---|
| See pending revenue | One screen, refreshes live | Log into Stripe, hunt by date |
| Per-source split | Auctions, drops, tips, DMs, subs, wishlist in one chart | Build a spreadsheet by hand |
| Net after fees | Pre-calculated with 8% deducted | Math each row yourself |
| Bookkeeping export | One-click CSV by date range | Paste Stripe rows into a sheet |
| Bank deposit confirmation | In-app notification plus last 4 of the account | Wait for the bank text alert |
How do I open my Payouts dashboard?
Sign in at fanvault.shop, open your creator dashboard, and click Payouts under the Selling section in the left sidebar. The page loads in under a second. If this is your first time opening it, Fanvault prompts you to finish the Stripe Connect identity check so future payouts route to your bank automatically.
How do I read pending vs completed payouts?
Pending payouts are sales Stripe has processed and is holding for the standard payout window before transferring to your bank. Completed payouts are the transfers that have already landed. The dashboard color codes them so you never confuse "in flight" money with "in your account" money. Click any row to drill into the individual orders that rolled up into that payout, including the buyer, the item, and the timestamp.
How do I confirm I kept 92% on a sale?
Open any completed sale and the order detail shows three numbers stacked: the buyer's total, the Fanvault 8% fee, and your net payout. That math is the same whether the sale was a 5-dollar tip or a 5,000-dollar signed jersey auction. For comparison, Fanvue would have kept 15% of the same sale, Passes would have kept 10% plus 30 cents, and Fanfix would have kept roughly 20%. On Fanvault you keep 92%, every time.
How do I reconcile auctions, drops, and tips?
Filter the source breakdown by date range and you get a clean ledger for any window you care about: last 7 days, this month, last quarter, lifetime. Auctions show the winning bid and the final payout after fees. Buy-it-now drops show units sold, gross, and your net. Tips and paid DMs roll up by day. Subscriptions and wishlist gifts each get their own line. Export the filtered view as CSV when your accountant asks for it at the end of the quarter.
What happens when a payout hits my bank?
You get an in-app notification and an email the moment Stripe confirms the transfer, and the completed payouts table updates with the deposit date and the last four digits of the receiving account. If a payout is ever held for verification, the dashboard tells you exactly what Stripe needs from you and links straight to the form, instead of leaving you to guess.
For a creator, the win is simple. You can run a weekly numbers check in under five minutes, know exactly what is yours after the 8% Fanvault fee, and walk into every accountant conversation with a clean export. That is the kind of clarity that lets you spend more time creating and less time chasing receipts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does Fanvault pay out?
Payouts run on the standard Stripe Connect schedule once your account is verified, and the dashboard always shows the next expected transfer date at the top of the pending card. If a sale lands during the current payout window, you will see it move from pending to completed automatically without any action on your end.
Is the 8% Fanvault fee really all I pay?
Yes. Fanvault keeps 8% per transaction and you keep 92%. There is no monthly subscription, no listing fee, and no separate fee for using the conversational automation layer or the storefront. Standard Stripe processing fees still apply to the buyer side, as they do on every platform, but Fanvault does not add anything on top of its 8%.
Can I see payouts broken down by auction, drop, tip, or subscription?
Yes. The source breakdown card splits revenue across auctions, buy-it-now drops, tips, paid DMs, subscriptions, and wishlist gifts. Each line shows gross revenue, the 8% fee, and your net for whatever date range you pick. That makes it easy to spot which part of your storefront is growing and which one might need attention.
What if a payout is held for verification?
The dashboard flags any held payout at the top of the page and explains what Stripe needs, usually a quick identity confirmation or a tax form. Click the prompt and you are taken straight to the right Stripe form. Once you submit, the dashboard updates the status and the payout resumes on its normal schedule.
Can I export payout records for taxes or my accountant?
Yes. Filter the source breakdown to the date range you need and click Export to download a CSV with every sale, the 8% fee on each row, and your net payout. Hand that file to your accountant at year end and you will not need to log into Stripe or stitch anything together by hand.
