Seller Payout Options

Quick Overview: A seller can get paid by direct deposit or an external payment such as cash. You can change the payout method in Step 6 (Payment) of the deal by clicking “Change payout method.” If direct deposit is available, the seller can switch to it by clicking the payment logo on their side of the transaction.

1. Direct Deposit

Direct deposit sends funds electronically straight to the seller’s connected bank account.

How it works:

• Funds are paid out using the fastest method the seller’s bank supports
• This may be ACH or RTP (real-time payments) depending on the bank
• No checks to download, print, or deposit

Because payout speed depends on the seller’s bank, some deposits may arrive instantly while others may take additional processing time.

Best for: Sellers who want the fastest, hands-off payout available through their bank.

2. Cash or External Payment

Sellers may choose Cash or External Payment if payment will occur outside of Deal Now. View the screenshot for for direct deposit, just select the bottom option instead.

Important details:

• Deal Now does not transfer funds for this option
• Buyer and seller arrange payment directly (cash, wire, crypto, etc.)
• The seller must confirm they’ve received payment before the deal can close

This option should only be used when both parties are comfortable handling payment independently.

Best for: In-person deals or transactions where payment is already arranged outside the platform.

Changing the Seller Payout Method

Before the deal closes, the payout method can be updated in Step 6 – Payment by clicking “Change payout method.” If ACH is the only available option for the bank put in, the seller can also switch to it by selecting the payment logo on their side of the deal.
