Gumroad, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy each publish a payout floor and a hold. Payhip’s “Missing Payment or Payout” help article, fetched 22 September 2026, is a different clock: Payhip does not hold the sale and then pay you later. This page restates that article. It is not tax, legal, or accounting advice. Recheck help.payhip.com/article/374-missing-payment-or-payout before you open an account.
Payhip’s missing-payment article: when a sale is made on Payhip, the payment is processed and sent directly to your connected payment processor at the time of purchase. If you cannot find a payment or payout, the article says the funds are usually in your connected payment processor, still pending, or credited to a different account than expected. Payhip names Stripe and PayPal as examples of those connected processors. Payhip.com/pricing returned a challenge when fetched this run, so this page does not quote a Payhip percentage from that URL.
The same article: payment processors will occasionally hold a transaction and mark it as pending, on hold, or processing, which means the funds will not be available until the payment works its way through. You check that status in the processor account. If it has been pending for more than 48 hours, the article says you reach out to the processor. Payhip will not grant the buyer access to the purchase until the payment has been fully confirmed on Payhip’s end. Payments are routed to whichever account was connected at the exact moment a purchase was made; a later reconnect does not move an already-completed sale.
Polar’s payouts page (fetched 22 September 2026) still lists a default USD $10 minimum and a 7-day settlement delay for organizations created on or after 12 May 2026. Lemon Squeezy’s getting-paid page (fetched 22 September 2026) still publishes a USD $50 minimum, a 13-day hold, and payouts paid on the 14th and 28th. Payhip’s article does not publish a Payhip-side dollar floor or a twice-monthly Payhip payout calendar. The money still has to clear Stripe or PayPal after it leaves Payhip. Recheck those official pages. Gumroad’s getting-paid HTML was title-only this run, so this page does not restate a Gumroad dollar floor from that fetch.
