Every client payment, tracked to the cent. Paid out in USDC, on your terms.
Your flat-percentage cut on every Stripe payment from your clients. Pending balances are settled in monthly payout batches. This page covers how that commission accrues, what every ledger row and status actually means, and how to add a payout wallet without losing funds to a single mistyped character.
How commission works.
Five steps happen between a client’s invoice and money in your wallet. Nothing here is manual on your side.
Stretched over a full cycle, that one row looks like this.
Multiply that one row by every client you onboard, and the four tiles in the next section are just this table, summed.
Your revenue at a glance.
Four tiles summarize the account. The ledger underneath is where every one of those numbers is actually earned, row by row.
Each tile’s subtitle follows its own pattern:
If the backend has not computed a next payout date yet, the Next payout tile renders ”—” instead of a countdown. See Payout timing below.
When a commission is blocked.
A row marked Pending (not payable) has been accrued correctly, but Actionist has blocked it from moving into a payout batch. The row does not show why. There is no toggle, no form, and no setting on your side that changes this.
Don’t spend time re-checking your payout wallet or your client’s plan looking for the cause. This is an Actionist Support case. Contact [email protected] and include:
- The client name shown in the Client column.
- The invoice month shown in the row’s Description column.
- The amount shown in Your cut (25%), so support can find the exact row.
Support can see the reason behind the block even though you can’t. There’s no form on this page that will surface it for you, so don’t go looking for one.
A block applies to that one row, tied to one client and one invoice. It doesn’t touch commission from your other clients, and it doesn’t affect your ability to add clients, run delegated sessions, or use anything else on your dashboard.
Reversals.
When a client’s payment is refunded or disputed after your commission has already accrued, the ledger does not touch the original row.
If a reversal lands after the original row has already been paid out, that’s a support conversation. Reach out the same way you would for a blocked commission: [email protected].
Payout timing.
Pending balances settle in monthly payout batches. Everything sitting in Pending on the day a batch runs moves to Paid together, in USDC, to the wallet you have configured.
For the specific timing of your next batch, look at the Next payout tile on the Revenue page rather than assuming a fixed day. It counts down in days and names the payout network, for example “in 12 days · USDC on Base.”
Your ledger and a client’s own billing history are two different views of the same underlying payment. Yours shows commission, theirs shows their invoice. See Billing for what a client sees on their side.
Setting up your payout wallet.
Payouts move on-chain, in USDC, and on-chain transfers cannot be undone. The flow is two separate steps on purpose: submit an address, then retype and confirm it before it goes live.

Pick the network
Paste the address
0x, followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Help text tracks it as you go: “Paste your full receiving address (42 characters, starts with 0x).” before you start, “Format looks valid. Confirm below by retyping or pasting again.” once it matches the pattern, or “That doesn’t look like a valid Base address. Expected 0x followed by 40 hex characters.” if it doesn’t. The modal only checks the format, so a hardware wallet address or a multisig address works exactly like any other, as long as it’s a valid address on the network you picked.Check all three acknowledgements

{{date}}” as the secondary line.Changing an existing wallet runs through the exact same eight steps, with “Change wallet” and “Change your payout wallet” in place of “Add wallet” and “Add your payout wallet”. A confirmed wallet stays active until you complete both the submit step and the retype-and-confirm step for a replacement, there’s no state where an old and new address are both live at once.
Crypto payouts are final and on-chain. Once a payout transaction is broadcast, Actionist cannot reverse it, recall it, or recover funds.
- Only use a USDC-compatible address on the Base network. Sending to the wrong chain destroys the payout.
- Do not use a centralized exchange deposit address unless it explicitly supports USDC on Base.
- Triple-check the first 6 and last 4 characters. Clipboard hijackers swap addresses silently.
- Actionist staff will never ask for your seed phrase or for a test payment.
A payout confirmed is a payout sent. There’s no undo button on-chain.
why the flow makes you retype the address before it goes livePayout method states.
The payout method card only ever shows one of these at a time. The button next to it changes with the state.
The address itself always renders the same way: the first six characters, an ellipsis, then the last four. A secondary line underneath reads “Confirmed {{date}}” once active, or “Updated {{date}}” after a change. The network line above it reads “{{token}} on {{network}}”, which defaults to “USDC on Base”.
{{date}}” sit underneath it.None of this changes how commission accrues. Whether or not you’ve configured a wallet, every client payment still writes its own row, still gets its 25% snapshotted, and still moves through Pending toward Paid. A wallet only determines where the money goes once it’s ready to move.
States and controls.
The Revenue page has three independent panels: your KPI tiles, your payout method, and your ledger. Each fails and empties separately.
Each of these is a genuine load failure, not a sign that your commission or your wallet has been reset. Work through it in order before contacting support:
- Click Retry on the panel that failed.
- If it fails again, reload the whole page.
- If it still fails, treat it the same way as a blocked commission and reach out to Actionist Support.
A failed load on one panel doesn’t tell you anything about the other two. It’s normal for your KPI tiles to load fine while the ledger is still spinning, or the other way around.
Get your wallet set up once. Get paid every month after.
Add a payout wallet, keep an eye on the ledger, and let the monthly batch do the rest.
25% flat commission, snapshotted per row, never recalculated after the fact.
Reversals are new rows, not edits · payouts settle monthly in USDC · nobody at Actionist will ever ask for your seed phrase.
