See and settle what your staff have earned

Staff earnings shows each staff member's share of every payment, what Paystack paid them and what you still owe, with a CSV export.

4 min readUpdated 18 October 2026

Staff earnings is one page with everything your staff have earned from bookings: what was paid straight to them, and what you still owe them for cash, card machine or Stripe payments.

Open Staff earnings

In the sidebar, click Products, then Resources. Click Staff earnings at the top of the page. Owners and managers can open it.

What you see

  • A card for each staff member with their totals: paid to them, owed by you and settled, plus their payout account status.
  • A row for every payment that included a share: the booking, the customer, what was paid, the percentage and the share.
  • Paid to them: Paystack paid the share into their bank account.
  • Owed by you: the share stayed with you, with the reason (cash or card machine, Stripe, or their account wasn't active yet).
  • Settled: you've paid an owed share yourself and marked it.

Above the list, use Period to choose This month, Last month or a Custom range, and filter by Staff member or Status.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a share owed when the customer paid online?

Either your store takes payments through Stripe, or the staff member's bank account wasn't active yet when the customer paid. Both are shown as the reason on the row.

Can I undo "settled"?

Not from the page. If you marked the wrong share, contact support and we'll help you correct it.

Does a refund change what my staff member earned?

No. Refunds don't change staff earnings. If you refund a booking, sort the staff member's share out with them directly.
