Payout timeline
Here is the monthly payout schedule in calendar days:
Days 1-10: Apify prepares and calculates invoices.
Day 11: Apify issues payout invoices to community developers.
Days 11-14: You review and approve your invoice. If you take no action, the invoice is automatically approved. This review period is your opportunity to check the details and contact us if you have questions about billing information, potential deductions, or other invoice specifics.
Days 15-22: Apify releases payments. According to general banking rules, this may take up to several working days, and the exact timing heavily depends on the receiving bank.
If you haven't received your payment by day 30 of the month, please contact our support team so we can investigate.
Review your invoice
You can find your invoice in the Development > Insights > Payouts section in Apify Console.
Deductions explained
A deduction is an amount subtracted from your payout. This may occur if a platform user requests credit compensation related to your Actor, typically because the Actor malfunctioned or did not deliver the expected results.
The Apify team manually reviews each compensation request before processing a deduction and showing it on your invoice.
Common reasons for payout delays
The following can affect your payout timing:
Wire transfer processing: These transfers can sometimes take longer to arrive. Allow a few additional business days for the funds to appear in your account.
Usage review: If Apify detects suspicious usage patterns related to your Actors, your payout may be held during an investigation. Apify will contact you if this is the case.
Didn’t get the payout?
Check these possibilities if your payout hasn't arrived:
Minimum threshold not met: If your monthly earnings are below the required minimum, they roll over to the next month until the threshold is met.
PayPal account: At least $20.
Wire transfer: At least $100.
Transaction declined: Your bank or PayPal might decline the transaction, causing the payment to fail or be returned. Your financial institution would typically notify you.
Payment method changed late: If you update your receiving account details after an invoice has been approved and processed for payment, the funds will be sent to the original account listed on that invoice.
