Your earnings dashboard shows two numbers: Pending and Available. Here's what each means:
Pending balance
Payment that's been released because the order is complete, but is held for 7 days before you can withdraw it. This holding period exists for fraud protection, it gives time to catch any issues before the money moves to your bank.
Think of it as: "This is definitely your money, it's just clearing."
Available balance
Money that's past the 7-day hold and ready for withdrawal. Tap "Request payout" and it goes to your bank account.
Example timeline
- Monday: Brand approves your Reel and marks the order complete. AED 1,500 is released to Pending.
- Next Monday: 7 days pass. AED 1,500 moves from Pending to Available.
- Whenever you want: You request a payout. AED 1,500 minus the service charge goes to your bank.
Can I speed this up?
Not right now. The 7-day hold is fixed for all creators. We're exploring faster access for creators with a strong track record, but no ETA on that.
What if I have both pending and available?
You'll see both numbers separately. You can only withdraw from Available. Pending just sits there until the 7 days are up. Each order has its own 7-day timer, so amounts trickle into Available as each order's hold expires.
