Getting paid sooner with Early Payout
Skip the clearing wait and move everything in your pending balance to available right away, for a 1% fee — a Gigolance Plus Premium benefit.
4 min read
Early Payout puts your earnings in your hands without waiting out the clearing window — one action moves your whole pending balance to available, for a 1% fee.
How clearing normally works
When a buyer marks an order complete, your earnings don't land in your available balance straight away. They first sit in a pending (clearing) balance for a 14-day safety window, then move to available, where you can withdraw them. This window protects both sides while everything settles.
You can see each balance — available, pending, in escrow, tips, and withdrawn — separately on your dashboard. Early Payout works on the pending side: it advances funds that are still clearing.
What Early Payout does
Funds now
Everything in your pending (clearing) balance moves to available immediately, instead of waiting out the window.
A 1% fee
You pay 1% of the advanced amount — the cost of jumping the queue on that order.
One tap, all of it
A single action advances your entire pending balance. Use it when you need the cash; otherwise let funds clear normally and pay nothing.
How to use it
- 1
Complete orders
Early Payout becomes available whenever earnings are sitting in your pending (clearing) balance.
- 2
Open Earnings
On your earnings page, Premium members with a pending balance see a Get paid now option on the balance card.
- 3
Confirm the fee
Review the 1% fee on the advanced amount before you confirm — you'll see exactly what lands in available.
- 4
Withdraw
The funds move to your available balance right away, ready to withdraw like any cleared earnings.
Who's eligible
Early Payout is a Gigolance Plus Premium benefit — every Premium member can use it on their pending balance, at any seller level.
Use it as a tool, not a habit
The fee is small per order but adds up if you advance everything. Treat Early Payout as a cash-flow lever for the moments you need it — and let the rest clear for free. If you want faster funds across the board without a per-order fee, look at Faster Payments instead.
Frequently asked
Yes — Early Payout charges 1% of the amount you advance, each time you use it. Orders you let clear normally cost nothing.
Not currently — Early Payout advances your entire pending balance in one go. Earnings must be in your pending (clearing) balance first, which happens once the buyer completes the order.
No. It only changes when pending funds become available — withdrawing to your payout method works exactly the same afterwards.
Faster Payments shortens clearing for free on every order; Early Payout moves your whole pending balance to available instantly, for a 1% fee. Many sellers rely on the first and reach for the second only when cash flow demands it.
