FAQ
How do I get my payouts from PayTabs?
PayTabs payments are processed instantly, so you receive funds immediately after each transaction. PayTabs payments work a little differently compared to Stripe or PayPal on Payhip. You will get your full payment (without Payhip fees deducted) instantly after each transaction has been processed. At the end of each month, you'll be billed for your Payhip fees using your preferred credit card.
What will my customers see at checkouts?
Once your PayTabs account is connected to Payhip, customers visiting your storefront will be redirected to PayTabs' interface at checkout where they can select their preferred payment methods. They do not need to have a PayTabs account to purchase, they can make payments with any payment methods of their choice (debit card, credit cards, etc).
