Why Are My Earnings Marked as “Available Soon”?

This status is due to the European PSD2 regulation (Payment Service Directive 2), which requires all sales on Stuvia to be processed through our payment provider, Stripe.

Here’s how it works:

  • Stripe needs 4 business days to release funds from the buyer to the seller.

  • These 4 days allow the transaction to be processed accurately and securely.

  • Since Stripe is a third party, Stuvia doesn’t have control over this timing.

Good to know: This delay ensures a secure and smooth transaction process for everyone involved.
