Payout Eligibility and Schedule on Data Boutique
To receive payouts for data sales, sellers on Data Boutique must meet specific eligibility criteria and quality standards. Ensuring eligibility is essential for timely and accurate payments, as only sellers who fulfill all requirements are entitled to receive their earnings each month.
Eligibility Criteria for Payouts
- Registered Payment Method: Sellers must have an active, registered payment method on file. Data Boutique supports payments through Stripe Connect or PayPal Business Accounts. Ensure your payment information is correctly registered to avoid payout delays.
- Compliance with QA Requirements: All datasets must pass Data Boutique’s peer review QA processes. Sellers who have unresolved QA issues or pending quality checks may experience delays in payouts. Consistently meeting quality standards helps maintain a reliable marketplace and ensures smooth payment processing.
- Timely and Accurate Delivery: Payouts are issued only for datasets that are delivered correctly and on time. Late deliveries result in lost sales—meaning the buyer will not receive the file, will not be charged, and the seller will not receive a payout for that transaction. Adhering to delivery timelines helps sellers maximize their sales and revenue.
Monthly Payout Schedule
Data Boutique processes payouts on a monthly basis at the end of each month. Payments are issued after collection, with amounts reflecting all eligible sales and delivered datasets from the prior month.
- Disputed Sales: If a buyer disputes the content of a dataset, Data Boutique will review the claim. If the dispute is verified, the buyer will be refunded, and the associated payout to the seller will be canceled.
- Ineligible Sellers: If a seller does not meet eligibility requirements by the payout date (e.g., missing payment information or unresolved QA issues), their payments will be held and carried over to the following month’s payout cycle once eligibility is restored.
In Summary
To be eligible for payouts, sellers must:
- Register a Payment Method: Ensure payment information is up-to-date in Stripe Connect or PayPal.
- Comply with QA Standards: Datasets must pass all quality reviews, and any pending issues must be resolved.
- Deliver on Time: Timely, accurate deliveries are essential, as late deliveries result in lost sales and no payout.
By adhering to these requirements, sellers can ensure reliable, monthly payouts for their data sales on Data Boutique, supporting a high-quality and trustworthy marketplace for all users.
