The Payouts view inside the Finances section shows the cash side of your business — what’s collected, what’s settling, and what’s heading to your bank account next.

The four key sections

How money moves through Sailia

  1. A customer pays — by card online, at the POS, or via an instalment plan.
  2. The amount appears in Pending balance while Stripe settles it.
  3. Settled funds move to Available balance.
  4. Stripe sends a payout to your bank on your configured schedule and the amount is added to Total paid out.
  5. If you’ve connected Xero, each payout posts as a categorised invoice with VAT breakdowns.

Planning around your cashflow

Use the four numbers together to plan:
  • Available + Pending tells you what you’ve already earned in this cycle, even if not all of it is in your bank yet.
  • Next payout is the amount that will hit your account on the scheduled date.
  • A growing pending balance with strong booking volumes is normal during busy periods — Stripe settles per transaction, not in bulk.
Refunds reduce the balance pools you’d expect — pending refunds come out of pending balance, while same-day refunds on cleared payments come out of available balance. See refunds.
