Payments and payouts

Merchant account

A merchant account on Appsinity is the set of payout details Appsinity needs to pay you. It is not a payment processor and it does not let you charge users.

Important: There is no merchant API, no payment SDK and no product catalog. Anything you sell inside your build is sold by you, on your own rails.

Setting it up

  1. Reach the threshold. The payout controls stay locked until the listing passes 20,000 visits.
  2. Open Payouts. A nav item in Studio; the sheet is Request Payout.
  3. Choose a method. bank, paypal or upi. One at a time, in the sheet.
  4. Match the name. The name on the method should match the account or organisation name.
  5. Wait for verification. 3-5 business days after verification, in USD converted to your currency.

Details worth preparing

  • An account in a currency Appsinity can convert to. The payout is quoted in USD and converted at prevailing rates.
  • For bank: account number and the identifier your bank requires.
  • For UPI: an address you actually control, since it is the one method most often mistyped.
  • For PayPal: an email that can receive a transfer, on an account verified by PayPal itself.
  • For an organisation: entity details that match the registration documents.
Watch out: A mismatched name is the most common cause of a delayed payout, and there is no self-service correction once a request is in flight. Get it right on the first request.

Changing payout details

There is no dedicated merchant screen with a history. Changing a method means a new request with different values, which is why a compromised developer account is a financial risk — see Two-factor authentication.

If you suspect a payout destination was altered, treat it as an account compromise and follow Account recovery immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a business registration?

Not to publish. For payouts, your method must be one you own, and an organisation payout should reflect the entity.

Can I get paid to another country?

The method determines it. USD is converted, so cross-border receiving depends on your bank or processor.

Is there a payout API?

No. See Payments API for what that endpoint does and does not do.
