How to Check Your Stripe Payout Status

To monitor your payout schedule through Slick:

  1. Open your menu

  2. Navigate to Online Booking, E-Vouchers, and Payments

Stripe have advised that you enable notifications for your Stripe dashboard mobile app. This will ensure you receive notifications about upcoming payments, their amounts and predicted dates of arrival into your account.
