Efficient payment management is crucial for businesses using Bsport and Stripe Connect. As a Bsport client, your transactions are processed via Stripe, and payments are sent according to a structured schedule. This guide explains:
✅ How payments work
✅ Processing times for different payment methods
✅ Payment schedules (daily, weekly, and monthly)
✅ The impact of refunds and disputes on your payments
✅ How to easily track your payments
🔹 1. How Do Stripe Payments Work with Bsport?
When a customer makes a payment for a service or subscription in your business, the funds are not immediately credited to your bank account. Instead, they go through a Stripe Connect account, which we manage for you.
💡 Bsport handles all Stripe transactions and organizes your payments.
⚙️ Payment Process:
1️⃣ The customer makes a payment (via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, etc.).
2️⃣ The funds are first received in your Stripe Connect account.
3️⃣ After processing and verification, the funds are scheduled for payout.
4️⃣ Stripe transfers the funds to your bank account according to the defined payment schedule.
📌 Important: Your customers' payments are not immediately available in your bank account. They must first go through Stripe’s processing and payout delay (explained below).
⏳ 2. Processing Times: SEPA vs. Credit Cards
💳 Credit Card Payments
✔ Immediate processing
✔ After processing, Stripe applies a payout delay for security and fraud prevention.
🏦 SEPA Direct Debit Payments
⏳ Minimum 3 business days for validation
🔄 Funds are only available for payout after validation and payout delay.
💡 Example:
A SEPA payment made on Monday will be processed by Thursday at the earliest.
A credit card payment made on Monday is processed immediately but will only be available for payout after the defined payout delay.
🚀 3. Understanding the Payout Delay (Minimum T+3 Days)
Stripe applies a payout delay for security and fraud prevention on all online transactions. This means that a credit card payment will not be available for at least 3 days, just like SEPA payments (in addition to their own validation period).
✔ Minimum delay: 3 days (non-reducible).
✔ This delay ensures that the payment is legitimate before releasing it.
✔ Even if you opt for daily payouts, this delay still applies.
🚨 Even with daily payouts, you will not receive a payout on the same day as the transaction.
📅 4. Choosing Your Payment Frequency
You can customize how often Stripe sends payments to your bank account:
Payout Frequency | How It Works | Best For |
Daily Payouts | Available funds after the payout delay are sent daily | Businesses with high transaction volume |
Weekly Payouts | Payments are sent every Friday and arrive on Monday | Most businesses |
Monthly Payouts | Option to choose a specific day of the month | Long-term financial planning |
💡 Weekly payouts are the most common, as they balance cash flow and processing times.
🔄 5. Which Transactions Are Included in a Payout?
A payout only includes transactions that have completed their Stripe processing period.
🗓️ Weekly Payouts - Example
If your payout is scheduled for Monday, it will include:
Transactions made from Thursday (previous week) to Wednesday (current week)
The payout is sent on Friday and received on Monday
Transaction Date | Included in Payout? |
Thursday (previous week) | ✅ Yes |
Monday (current week) | ✅ Yes |
Friday (current week) | ❌ No (included in the following week’s payout) |
💰 6. Refunds & Disputes: Impact on Payouts
✔ Refunds are automatically deducted from your next payout.
✔ Disputes (chargebacks) are also deducted if lost.
✔ If the balance becomes negative, Stripe will block future refunds until the balance is positive again.
📌 Example: Refund Deduction
Expected Payout: €1,000
Refund Processed: €300
Final Payout Amount: €700
🚨 If your balance turns negative, Stripe may suspend future payouts or request a bank transfer to cover the deficit.
📊 7. Tracking Payouts via the Bsport Back Office
You can check which transactions are included in a payout directly from your Bsport Back Office.
