Check Your Earnings & Payouts

How to access ShopBroker payment activity, earnings, and payout history

Written by Austin Headley

Your Payments Page

The Payments page is where you track your earnings and review sales, fees, and payouts. Provider setup and account actions live under Settings > Payments.

Accessing the Payments Page

On desktop: Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then select Payments.

On mobile: Tap the menu icon, then tap Payments.

You can also go straight to /payments in your browser.

What's on the Payments Page

The page has two tabs:

Overview

See how your sales are doing at a glance:

  • Current balance (ready for payout)

  • Pending balance (still processing)

  • Total earnings

  • Recent transaction summary

Transactions

Every payment received in one place:

  • Sale amount for each transaction

  • ShopBroker service fee deducted

  • Net amount paid to you

  • Transaction status and date

  • Link to the original order

The Transactions tab can show sales and Stripe payouts together, or you can filter it to payouts only. PayPal transfer history stays inside PayPal.

Provider connections, active-provider switching, and Action Required banners live under Settings > Payments.

PayPal vs Stripe at a Glance

ShopBroker pays you securely through whichever provider is your active one.

PayPal: Funds land in your PayPal balance after delivery is confirmed. You manually transfer to your bank from PayPal whenever you want.

Stripe: Funds enter your Stripe balance after delivery is confirmed, then automatically pay out to your bank on your chosen schedule.

For a deeper comparison, see Choosing Your Payment Provider.

Understanding Your Balance

  • Available balance: Ready to transfer out (PayPal) or send to your bank (Stripe)

  • Pending balance: Payment captured but still processing

  • Total volume: All-time sales amount

  • Fees paid: Total ShopBroker service fees deducted

Provider Dashboards and Settings

Use the Payments page for activity, balances, fees, and transaction history. Use Settings > Payments when you need to:

  • Open PayPal or Stripe's dashboard

  • Connect a provider

  • Switch your active provider

  • Resolve an Action Required banner

For the settings walkthrough, see Payment Provider Settings. For switching details, see Changing Your Payment Provider.

Troubleshooting

If the Page Is Empty

  • Make sure at least one payment provider is connected

  • Complete any Action Required items under Settings > Payments

  • Check again after your first sale completes

  • Contact ShopBroker support if the issue persists

Balance Doesn't Match Expectations

ShopBroker shows your net earnings after fees. If something looks off, compare the transaction detail view with your provider's dashboard. The numbers should match once you factor in the service fee.

PayPal-Specific Issues

For PayPal connection problems, see PayPal Account Problems.

Stripe-Specific Issues

For Stripe connection problems, see Stripe Account Problems.

Tips

  • Check the Overview tab weekly to stay on top of your earnings

  • Download your transaction history from your provider's dashboard at tax time

  • Keep your payment provider details up to date to avoid payout delays

  • Respond promptly to any Action Required notices; delays can pause payouts
