Whatnot tightens what counts toward Early Payout
Starting August 31, 2026, only qualifying orders count toward Whatnot's Early Payout milestones. An order qualifies if it was delivered (or 30 days passed since payment with no cancellation, refund, chargeback or dispute), wasn't local pickup, a giveaway or a tip, and had no coupon or credit applied. Sellers who already had Early Payout keep it. Sellers who started before Aug 31 could qualify under the old rules until Sept 30, 2026.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a
Affects when a newer seller gets paid (when the label is created instead of after delivery), not fees. The exact thresholds appear only in Seller Hub.
