On Givebutter, all payouts made to your bank account are reviewed and manually approved by our fraud and security team. This helps ensure a safe platform for donors. For verified nonprofit accounts with existing payout history on Givebutter, we can enable automated payouts upon request!
Automated payouts are not a self-serve feature – they must be enabled by our team.
How it works 💸
When enabled, automated payouts are made nightly for all campaigns with an available balance of $100 or more — this does not include pending funds. Automated payouts bypass the standard review process and are, therefore, processed quicker.
Requirements to enable ✅
Your account has verified nonprofit status on Givebutter.
You have a payout method (bank account) linked on the Payouts page.
You have already completed at least one successful payout.
A payout is completed when the funds land in your connected bank account. Pending payouts do not count toward this requirement.
Once you meet the above requirements, please contact our team and request approval for automated payouts. If automated payouts are enabled by our team before roughly 4pm EST, your first automated payout (if applicable) should be processed the same day. If automated payouts are enabled by our team after that cutoff, your first automated payout should occur on the next business day.
