Payout Automation
Shipturtle offers powerful payout automation tools to streamline your vendor payment process. These settings ensure that orders transition smoothly through the payout lifecycle—from processing to payment—while reducing manual intervention and errors.
Setting 1: Auto-Move Orders to “Payables”
What It Does:
Moves orders from In-Process to Payables automatically when the order reaches a certain status.
How It Works:
- You choose the order status (like New, Confirmed, or Delivered).
- As soon as an order reaches that status, it moves to Payables.
- Returned, Cancelled, or RTO orders always move to Payables immediately with ₹0 payout.
- Delivered orders move to Payables only after the return window is closed.
| Recommended: Keep this ON to reduce manual effort. Only change if you have specific payout timelines.
Statuses You Can Choose:
- New Orders
- Confirmed
- Ready to Ship
- In Transit
- Exceptions
- Delivered
| Example: If you choose “Ready to Ship,” any order marked as "Ready to Ship" will automatically move to Payables.
Setting 2: Auto-Generate Commission Invoices
What It Does:
Automatically creates commission invoices for vendors based on the orders in Payables.
How It Works:
- Once an order is in Payables, Shipturtle will create an invoice based on the schedule you select.
You Can Choose:
- Immediately (as soon as the order enters Payables)
- Daily
- Weekly
- Bi-weekly
- Monthly
| Invoices are created at midnight (0:00) as per your company’s time zone.
Tip: Turn this OFF if you want to create invoices manually from the Payouts Page.
Setting 3: Auto-Pay Vendor Invoices
What It Does:
Automatically pays vendors once their invoice is ready.
How It Works:
- If the vendor has added Stripe or PayPal as their payment method, Shipturtle will auto-pay them.
- If the vendor has:
- No payment method, OR
- A manual method like bank transfer. The invoice will stay unpaid.
- If a payment fails, the invoice will also stay unpaid.
Check the Transaction History page for details if a payment fails.
Best Practices
- Keep Setting 1 ON to automate order tracking and reduce delays.
- Set weekly or bi-weekly invoice frequency to match your payout cycle.
- Enable Auto-Pay only if you use Stripe/PayPal and want full hands-free automation.
