The 5-step bank payout flow (end to end)
- **1. You onboard:** Dashboard → Payments → Bank payouts. Enter bank account, IFSC, PAN, legal name.
- **2. Activation:** ownstreet submits a Razorpay Route linked account. Status shows pending or active.
- **3. Buyer checkout:** Customer opens your product page, taps Pay, completes UPI on mobile.
- **4. Payment capture:** ownstreet records the order. Route initiates transfer to your linked bank account.
- **5. Delivery + payout:** Buyer gets the download link. Your bank receives the payout after Razorpay confirms.

What you enter in the bank payouts form
| Field | What to use | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Bank account number | Your savings/current account | Route sends payouts here |
| IFSC | 11-character branch code | Routes to correct bank branch |
| PAN | Your personal or business PAN | KYC for linked account |
| Account holder name | Matches bank records | Reduces activation failures |
| Email / phone | Account contact | Razorpay verification if needed |
⚠️ Note
Name mismatch between PAN and bank account is the top activation delay. Use the exact legal name your bank shows on statements.
What happens when a buyer pays with UPI
The buyer never sees your bank details. They pay on your ownstreet checkout page through platform Razorpay. UPI apps (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm) appear at payment. After Razorpay captures the payment, Route splits the order: gateway fees to Razorpay, your share to the linked account you submitted.
- **Feature:** checkout runs on ownstreet Razorpay, not your merchant account.
- **Advantage:** you skip merchant signup and API key management.
- **Benefit:** first sale possible the same day you publish, if activation is active.

How long until money hits your bank?
| Payment method | Typical payout time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| UPI | 2–3 minutes after capture | Most creator sales in India |
| Cards | Same day to T+1 | Less common on bio traffic |
| Net banking | Same day to T+1 | Depends on bank cutoffs |
| First-ever payout | May take longer | Activation must be active first |
Download unlock timing follows payout confirmation on bank payouts. Test with a ₹1 product on mobile data before you announce publicly.
