Gitpay has two documented payment paths: a funded project task that a contributor delivers and a Payment Request that a provider sends for completed customer work. In either path, approval or payment, transfer credit, and payout are separate steps.
Follow the payment stages
- Agree on the work and amount. A project can fund an issue; a provider can create a Payment Request after delivery.
- Deliver and obtain acceptance where the project or customer requires it.
- Complete the applicable payment or release step.
- Check the credited transfer in Claims.
- Withdraw available funds through Payouts.
A merged Pull Request alone does not guarantee that payment has been released. A paid request can still require processing before funds are available.
Payments and payouts through Whop
Gitpay’s current payment flow uses Whop. Funded contributions and Payment Requests both lead to a transfer through Whop once the applicable payment or release step is complete. PayPal is a possible payment or payout method within the Whop flow, not a separate Gitpay payout provider.
Payout eligibility and methods
Your ability to receive a payout depends on whether Whop supports your country and whether you complete its identity and account checks. Check Whop’s supported payout countries before you rely on a payout. The available destinations vary by country and account. They can include a bank account, PayPal, or a crypto wallet; choose from the options Whop actually shows you. See Whop’s payout methods and Gitpay’s Whop setup guide.
The customer’s checkout method and your payout destination are different choices. A PayPal checkout does not mean Gitpay sends a separate PayPal transfer outside Whop.
Connect a payout account
Set up your Whop payout account and complete any required verification before withdrawing. See How payouts work for the withdrawal flow.
How fees work
Gitpay charges an 8% platform fee on Payment Requests. A dispute or refund may affect your balance and may involve additional fees; see Disputes and refunds. Whop shows any applicable payout method fees and timing during setup or withdrawal.
Invoices & history
Use your account payment history to track funded tasks, payout status, and completed transfers.
