Do I need to fill out a W-9 to get paid as a seller?

Yes, if you're a US seller you complete the W-9 Taxpayer Profile in Pludor's Finance section before payouts. It stores your taxpayer details so Pludor can issue your Form 1099-NEC at year end. You enter your name, address and tax ID once and it's kept on file.

What fees come out before I get my payout?

Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout, and card processing is charged separately by Stripe.

How much does it cost to use payouts and tax forms on Pludor?

The payouts and tax features are on for every store, including the Free plan at $0 with no item limit. Each month a free amount of everything is included (for example 3,000 visits and 100 AI replies); past that you pay only for what you use, in credits where 1 credit = 1 cent. New stores get 500 free credits, and the only selling cost is the 4.99% + $0.90 platform fee per paid online order.

Why is my payout not going through?

The most common cause is that bank or PayPal details haven't been saved yet - Pludor requires payout details before any payout request. Go to Finance and enter your bank routing or PayPal email. If you're a US seller, also make sure your W-9 Taxpayer Profile is complete.

Do I have to verify my identity before I can get payouts?

Yes, Pludor has a profile-wide ID check that unlocks payouts. Go to pludor.com/me/wallet and verify: Tier 1 is tax details (name, address, tax ID) and Tier 2 is a government ID scan plus a selfie. Most checks are automatic, and you re-verify yearly when prompted.

Pludor vs Stripe Payment Links or Square for getting paid - what's the difference?

With typical processors your money and tax forms live in a separate processor dashboard; on Pludor, checkout, QR pay, invoices and refunds share one order history, and Finance shows fees, payouts, your W-9 and 1099 in one place. Pludor also adds a buyer wallet with cashback and gift cards at checkout, which most processors don't offer. Card processing itself is still handled by Stripe.

Can I see how much I made on each sales channel before cashing out?

Yes, Pludor's Finance section shows your available payout balance plus revenue broken down by sales channel. You can review each payment, the fee deducted, and your full payout request history there. When you're ready, request a payout to bank or PayPal with your preferred transfer speed.
