What's the standard payout timeline?

  • Days 7-14: Apify processes and approves invoices internally

  • Day 14: Payout invoices issued to community developers

  • Days 14-21: Developers review and approve invoices (automatic approval if no action is taken)

  • Day 22: Apify processes payments

What are the minimum earnings required for a payout?

For paypal, you need at least $20 in earnings from your public Actors. If your monthly earnings are below $20, they roll over to the next month until reaching the threshold. For wire transfers, the minimum is $100.

What causes payout delays?

  1. Your earnings haven't reached the minimum threshold.

  2. Bank holidays or weekends affect processing dates. Wait a few days.

  3. The wire transfer is taking longer than expected. Wait a few days.

  4. Suspicious usage patterns are affecting your metrics. The Apify team will contact you.

What are chargebacks, and why do they appear on my invoice?

Chargebacks occur when users request refunds because they didn't get the expected results from your Actors. Apify manually verifies each request before processing the chargeback on your invoice.
