Payout Automation


Setting 1: Auto-Move Orders to “Payables”

What It Does:

Moves orders from In-Process to Payables automatically when the order reaches a certain status.

How It Works:

  • You choose the order status (like New, Confirmed, or Delivered).
  • As soon as an order reaches that status, it moves to Payables.
  • Returned, Cancelled, or RTO orders always move to Payables immediately with ₹0 payout.
  • Delivered orders move to Payables only after the return window is closed.

| Recommended: Keep this ON to reduce manual effort. Only change if you have specific payout timelines.

Statuses You Can Choose:

  • New Orders
  • Confirmed
  • Ready to Ship
  • In Transit
  • Exceptions
  • Delivered

| Example: If you choose “Ready to Ship,” any order marked as "Ready to Ship" will automatically move to Payables.

Setting 2: Auto-Generate Commission Invoices

What It Does:

Automatically creates commission invoices for vendors based on the orders in Payables.

How It Works:

  • Once an order is in Payables, Shipturtle will create an invoice based on the schedule you select.

You Can Choose:

  • Immediately (as soon as the order enters Payables)
  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Bi-weekly
  • Monthly

| Invoices are created at midnight (0:00) as per your company’s time zone.

Tip: Turn this OFF if you want to create invoices manually from the Payouts Page .

Setting 3: Auto-Pay Vendor Invoices

What It Does:

Automatically pays vendors once their invoice is ready.

How It Works:

  • If the vendor has added Stripe or PayPal as their payment method, Shipturtle will auto-pay them.
  • If the vendor has:
    • No payment method, OR
    • A manual method like bank transfer. The invoice will stay unpaid.
  • If a payment fails, the invoice will also stay unpaid.

Check the Transaction History page for details if a payment fails.

Best Practices

  • Keep Setting 1 ON to automate order tracking and reduce delays.
  • Set weekly or bi-weekly invoice frequency to match your payout cycle.
  • Enable Auto-Pay only if you use Stripe/PayPal and want full hands-free automation.
