Payouts & Earnings
How to set up Stripe Connect and request payouts for your circuit earnings.
Payouts & Earnings
When other users run your public circuits, you earn credits. Those earned credits can be converted into real money and sent to your bank account through Stripe Connect payouts.
Payouts are managed through the website Settings.
Setting up Stripe Connect
- Log in to modelworks.ai.
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner, then select Settings.
- In the left sidebar, go to Billing → External Accounts.
- Click the Set Up Payouts or Connect with Stripe button.
- You'll be redirected to Stripe Connect onboarding — follow the prompts to enter your bank account details and verify your identity.
- Once complete, you'll be redirected back to ModelWorks.
Checking your Stripe status
The External Accounts page shows your Stripe Connect status — active, pending, or not connected. If onboarding is still pending, you can return to Stripe to finish the remaining steps.
Requesting a payout
- On the External Accounts page, you'll see your available earnings balance.
- Click Request Payout to withdraw your earnings.
- Enter the amount you'd like to withdraw.
- The request will be reviewed by our team — typically processed within 1-2 business days.
- Once approved, the money is transferred to your connected bank account via Stripe.
