Setting up staff for Stripe payouts
Let your crew get paid to their own bank through Stripe.
Paying staff through Crewty moves money from your Stripe balance to each staff member's own account. Staff never take card payments for you, they only receive payouts, so they are never the card merchant.
Before you start
Make sure your own Stripe account is connected first (see Connecting your Stripe account). You also need Stripe Connect turned on in your Stripe Dashboard, under Connect, so you are able to send transfers to your team. You can turn this on any time; charging clients works right away either way.
How a staff member gets set up
- Invite the staff member from the Staff section (see Inviting staff and admins).
- They accept the invite and open the staff portal.
- From the portal they connect their payout details, which Stripe collects directly (bank or debit card, depending on their country).
- Once their payout account is active, they show as ready to be paid.
Setting each person's rate
Set the hourly rate for each staff member on the Staff page. Crewty multiplies that rate by the time that counts under your pay model, either actual clocked time or booked time (see Setting up your company).
Paying them
When work is done, run a payout from the payments area. The transfer moves from your Stripe balance to the staff member's connected account, as long as your balance and Stripe settings allow it (see When client payments arrive for timing).
If a staff member has not finished connecting their payout account, you will not be able to pay them through Stripe yet. Ask them to complete the payout step in their portal.
