Getting Paid on Sleeve

How Do I Get Paid on Sleeve?

Sleeve uses Stripe to handle payments and payouts, so you get paid securely and directly to your bank account.

Once your payout info is set up and your plan is active, you’ll receive earnings from:

  • Membership subscriptions
  • Release sales (where applicable)
  • Other fan payments that run through Sleeve

1. How Money Flows

Fans pay via card or local payment methods through Stripe. Sleeve takes 0% of your sales. Payments go directly to your Stripe account, minus standard processing fees (2.9% + 30 cents).

You'll see all of this in your Sleeve dashboard and Stripe reports.

2. Payment Schedule

Stripe handles payout timing. Depending on your country and account setup, payouts may be:

  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly

You can see and adjust your payout schedule from your Stripe dashboard once your account is connected.

How Do I Set Up My Payout Info?

To get paid, you’ll connect a Stripe account through Sleeve. It’s secure and only takes a few minutes.

Step 1: Start Setup

  • In your Sleeve admin, go to Payout Settings
  • Click Add information — this will open Stripe’s onboarding flow

Step 2: Choose Region and Currency

Stripe will ask for:

  • Your country
  • The currency you want to receive payouts in

This ensures payouts are routed correctly.

Step 3: Provide Required Details

You’ll typically need:

  • Bank account details (for deposits)
  • Photo ID (for identity verification, as required by regulations)
  • Business type (individual, sole proprietor, company, etc.)

Stripe encrypts and stores this data. Sleeve never sees or stores your banking or ID documents.

Step 4: Confirm and Activate

Once everything is approved by Stripe, your account will be ready to receive payouts from Sleeve.
