When a task is completed and the related issue and pull request are closed, the code is deployed to production and you receive the bounty payment. The same payment flow applies when someone pays a payment request you created for service work.

Gitpay uses more than one payment provider
Depending on how a task or payment request was funded, and which payout method you’ve connected, money moves through Stripe, Whop, or PayPal:
- Stripe is Gitpay’s default provider for card payments and payouts (via Stripe Connect).
- Whop is available as an alternative payout method — see How to set up a payout account on Whop.
- PayPal remains supported for some accounts and older funded tasks.
You don’t choose the provider yourself for a given payout — it follows whichever method was used to fund the task or payment request, and whichever payout method you have active on your profile.
Connect a payout account
To receive payouts, you need an active payout method on your profile: a bank account connected through Stripe or Whop, or a linked PayPal account. See How payouts work for the full withdrawal flow.
How fees work
- Gitpay charges an 8% platform fee on payment requests. This fee is not refunded if the payment is later disputed — see Disputes and refunds.
- Stripe-connected payouts follow Stripe’s own transfer and payout-schedule terms.
- Whop payouts are requested on demand — see How payouts work.
- PayPal payouts follow PayPal’s own fees and require an active, linked PayPal account.
Invoices & history
Use your account payment history to track funded tasks, payout status, and completed transfers.

- Claims — where completed transfers show up first.
- Disputes and refunds — what happens if a payment is contested.
