Instructor payouts (Stripe Connect)

Team 1099 payouts use Stripe Connect Express on the same Integrations key. This is not student Checkout.

Who can do this: Studio managers pay and mark paid on Staff → Payouts. Instructors see their own pay stubs and can finish Connect onboarding.

This is not student checkout.

Flow	Stripe account	Charge pattern
Student / member class payments	Integrations secret key	Existing Checkout. Not Connect destination or direct charges.
Team 1099 payouts	Express connected accounts	Transfer from platform balance. Prefer Dashboard; optional in-app Transfer.

Steps

Give the person a timetable profile (rate, Connect, taught class, or an active staff row). A login with no staff card does not appear on payouts.
On their staff page, start Stripe-hosted Account Links / Express login.
Open Staff → Payouts to pay or Mark as paid in ledger. If you pay only in the Stripe Dashboard, still mark the ledger so unpaid totals stay accurate.

Group class: class rate, else hourly × duration. The class must have ended (ends_at in the past). Marking it completed early does not pay yet. Cancelled classes are skipped.
Group class attendance: unpaid unless at least one booking is checked in / present. Late check-in counts. Reserved, waitlisted, no-show, cancelled, and late-cancelled bookings do not. Staff → Payouts shows No attendance – not paid for those sessions.
If attendance is cleared or the class is cancelled after an unpaid line was written, sync voids that line. Already-paid lines stay and are noted (class cancelled after payment / no attendance after payment).
Appointment: hourly × duration when hourly is set, else class rate. Appointment type price is client-facing, not instructor pay. Cancelled and no-shows skipped. Private appointments do not use the group roster attendance rule.

Same test Stripe key as student charges. Platform Transfer needs available balance.
Paying and mark-paid stay admin-only on Staff → Payouts.
