Selfany Knowledge Centre

Selfany is built for creators, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who want to sell digital products/physical products, subscriptions, tickets, coaching sessions, and more without worrying about how or when they'll get paid.

This article outlines the entire payout process on Selfany, from making a sale to seeing the money in your bank account, with a clear breakdown of each step, plus answers to common questions.

1. Selling and Receiving Payments

When a customer purchases a product or service from your Selfany storefront:

• The payment is processed instantly through Selfany’s secure payment infrastructure.
• Selfany supports bank payouts in most countries across Africa and selected regions worldwide. Supported currencies include NGN, USD, GHS, KES, ZAR, and more. Read this article for a full list of supported regions and currencies.
• Funds are credited directly into your Selfany wallet after the transaction is confirmed.

There is no need to integrate third-party payment systems like Paystack or Flutterwave. Selfany handles everything internally, simplifying the process for creators and minimizing technical setup.

2. Viewing Your Earnings In The Wallet

Your Selfany wallet acts as a central hub for your earnings. As each transaction is completed, your wallet balance updates in real-time. This lets you:

• Monitor income as it comes in.
• View detailed transaction history.
• Filter by product, date, or currency.
• Export data for accounting or reporting.

Having a real-time dashboard means you always know where your money is, how much is pending, and what’s available for withdrawal.

3. Setting Up Your Payout Information

To withdraw funds, you first need to link your bank account. This is done through your store page under Store page> Manage store.

Here's what you need to set up:

• Preferred payout currency (NGN, USD, etc., depending on your region)
• Your bank name.
• Account number.
• Account name.
• Routing number
• VAT/Tax Number (optional)

Selfany supports local bank transfers, meaning payouts can go directly to your traditional bank account without the need for additional processing tools or currency conversions.

You can also add more than one bank account if you want to receive funds in different currencies or to different destinations.

4. Choosing How You Get Paid: Automatic vs. Manual Payouts

Selfany provides two ways to receive your earnings:

Automatic Payouts

By default, Selfany offers next-day automatic payouts. This means that each day, the system checks your wallet for available funds and processes a transfer to your linked bank account.

Automatic payouts are ideal for creators who want a passive approach to managing finances. Once enabled, you don’t need to do anything, your funds are transferred to your bank on a daily basis (excluding bank holidays or issues on the receiving bank's side).

Manual Payouts

If you prefer to control when your funds are withdrawn, you can use the manual payout option. From your wallet dashboard, you can:

• View your current balance.
• Select how much you'd like to withdraw.
• Initiate a payout to your linked account at any time.

Manual payouts are useful if you want to let your earnings accumulate or if you want to group withdrawals by week or month for budgeting.

5. How Long Do Payouts Take?

Payouts typically reflect in your bank account within 24 hours of being initiated, whether manually or automatically.

Factors that may affect timing:

• Bank processing schedules (e.g., weekends or public holidays).
• Currency type and country-specific banking regulations.
• Incorrect or outdated bank information.

However, in most cases, especially within supported regions, funds arrive the next business day.

6. What Happens If There’s a Problem With a Payout?

If a payout fails (for example, due to incorrect bank details or account restrictions):

• The funds are returned to your Selfany wallet automatically.
• You will receive an immediate notification.
• You can update your payout information and try again.

Selfany's support team is available to assist with failed payouts or delays. The platform provides 24/7 human support via email, WhatsApp, and phone, making it easy to get help when needed.

7. Fees and Transparency

Selfany operates with transparent transaction fees. There are no hidden charges for withdrawals, and no platform usage fee; you only pay per transaction.

All fees are clearly displayed in your wallet before any withdrawal, and there is no charge for maintaining your wallet balance. This ensures you can confidently calculate your earnings and plan your cash flow.

8. Security Measures

Your funds and financial data are protected through multiple layers of security:

• All payouts require bank verification by completing the KYC process on the platform.
• You receive notifications for every wallet activity.
• Transactions are logged and traceable from your dashboard.
• Fraud detection protocols protect against suspicious activity.

Selfany also uses encryption and secure infrastructure to protect your wallet and bank details.

Selfany takes the complexity out of getting paid for your work. From local currency support and automatic payouts to a real-time wallet and full control over withdrawal timing, it’s built to give creators peace of mind.

Even if you’re just starting or managing a growing digital brand, Selfany ensures that payouts are not something you have to worry about. Your focus stays on your work, while your money flows in the background.
