Your POD Store earnings from the previous month will be paid out via bank transfer on the 15th of each month, with no minimum payout threshold. For example, if you started selling in March, your earnings for that month will be paid out on April 15th.
As Printful Enterprise only charges the end customer, production and other associated costs will be deducted directly from your earnings. This means, that your final earnings will be calculated as follows:
Payout = Total Sales − Processing fee (which includes production and shipping costs, as well as taxes if no valid tax exemption documents are provided) − Refunds (if applicable).
You can view your customer payments and future payouts that you will be receiving by navigating to Wallet → POD Store transactions.
Please note that you must complete Stripe verification before you can receive your earnings.
What about taxes on my earnings?
As the Merchant of Record, you are responsible for managing all tax obligations related to your POD Store sales. Printful Enterprise does not withhold income taxes from your earnings, so you must report and remit any applicable taxes yourself. We recommend staying informed about your responsibilities or consulting a tax advisor for personalized guidance.
However, there may be applicable consumption taxes (VAT, sales tax, GST) on your orders which can affect your earnings. You can submit tax exemption documents in Wallet → Taxes.

Please note that when setting up retail prices for your POD Store, make sure to take all potential tax charges into account. If your profit margin is unable to cover taxes, the order will be canceled and auto-refunded.
Why is my first Stripe payout scheduled for next month?
If your first Stripe payout is set for next month instead of this one, there’s no need to worry.
Stripe applies a 7-day security hold on all first-time payouts. This means earnings from your initial orders become eligible for payout seven days after the order is placed, this is a standard risk management practice that can’t be waived.
-
If your first orders came in during the last week of the month:
- The 7-day delay pushes your earnings into the next month’s payout window.
- Example: Orders placed at the end of July become available in early August, so your first payout is scheduled for September.
-
If your first orders came in earlier in the month:
- You’ll receive your first payout the following month as usual.
- Example: Orders from early July are eligible in July and paid out in August.
You can always check your upcoming payout date and amount in the POD Store transactions section of your dashboard.
