How Payouts Work
The buyer pays ReBattery as payment collection agent for the seller. ReBattery records the full payment, marketplace commission and seller payable. The seller remains the supplier and fulfils the deal directly for the buyer.
The seller payable is not released when the buyer pays. For a purchase deal, the buyer first confirms receipt. ReBattery then verifies release eligibility and submits the payout. The payout is complete only when the payout provider confirms it was sent.
Set Up Payouts
Open payout settings and choose Set up payouts. Stripe hosts the form and collects the bank details directly, so ReBattery does not store the raw account number, sort code, IBAN or BIC.
For a routine business recipient, Stripe may ask for:
- legal or business name;
- email and country;
- payout bank details;
- any identity, business or compliance information required for the recipient's country.
This is payout-recipient setup, not a Stripe merchant account. Sellers do not need to configure payment acceptance or operate a Stripe merchant dashboard.
You can list and agree a transaction before payout setup is active. Funds cannot be released until the payout status is active.
Payout Status
- Not configured — payout details have not been added.
- Pending — Stripe is checking the recipient or bank details.
- Active — the recipient can receive a supported payout.
- Restricted — Stripe needs corrected or additional information.
- Failed — setup or payout needs operations support.
Timing And Returns
Timing depends on the recipient country, bank, currency and provider checks. The deal shows Payout pending after release is requested and Payout released only after provider confirmation.
A provider can later return a sent bank payout. If that happens, ReBattery records the return and contacts the seller; it does not create repeated payouts automatically.
Platform Fees
The deal ledger records the marketplace commission and seller payable separately. See Platform Fees for the fee calculation.
