## Payouts
Use this page for payout schedules, provider dependencies, reconciliation, payout status, tax-document expectations, and support escalation.
{% figure src="/docs-images/gitbook-products-payouts.png" alt="GitBook payouts product docs page" caption="The payouts product guide gives readers a public explanation of payout timing, blocked or delayed states, and escalation paths before they depend on account-level finance surfaces." /%}
## What to document
Explain which payout states matter to readers, what happens when transfers are delayed or blocked, how reconciliation data should be interpreted, and where payout history differs from order or settlement views in the apps.
## Support path
If a payout issue needs intervention, tell readers whether the next step is self-service review, Brothh support, or follow-up with an external payout provider.
## Source of truth
Confirm payout language against current finance workflows, provider integrations, and shared schema before publishing timing or status guarantees.
