At Hotmart, you have the flexibility to choose when you get paid for credit card sales. You can opt for the standard payment schedule or accelerate your earnings through our advance payout option. Even for installment purchases, you can decide to receive the payout more quickly to suit your business needs, without having to wait for each installment.
The payouts you receive in advance can be used for a variety of purposes, such as reinvesting in your business, boosting your marketing campaigns, covering daily expenses, or hiring additional staff to support new launches. This allows you to maintain a healthy cash flow and drive your business growth.

How do payment schedules work?
Currently, Hotmart offers three payment schedule options for Brazilian users: 2 days, 14 days, and 30 days (standard).
By selecting the 2-day or 14-day payment schedule, you can receive 90% of your total credit card sales within your chosen timeframe. The remaining 10% is held in your balance to cover potential adjustments such as refunds and chargebacks. This 10% will be available for withdrawal within 30 days.
❯ What are the advance payout options?
Understanding the benefits of faster payouts for your digital business, below you'll find the available options:
2-day or 14-day payment schedule with fee
You can automatically configure your credit card sales to be deposited into your account every 2 or 14 days.
By setting this automatic payment schedule, 90% of the total amount from credit card sales will be available for withdrawal within the timeframe you choose. The fee for this advance payout is 3.21% for a 2-day payout or 1.79% for a 14-day payout.
To set this up, simply follow these steps:
- Log in to the platform at https://app.hotmart.com/.
- Access My account by clicking on your profile picture in the upper-right corner.
- On the next screen, click on Financial information.
- Select your desired payment schedule.
2-day payment schedule with fee charged to the buyer
Another option is to activate the 2-day payment schedule with a fee charged to the buyer. This option allows you to include the advance payment fee within the installment fee of your product. In other words, the advance payout fee will not be charged separately as it is already incorporated into the installment fee, which will increase from 2.89% to 3.89%.
This means that if, when pricing your product, you choose the option to pass on the installment fee to the customer, you will not pay directly for this advance payout.
Important: Affiliates and cocreators will always receive their sales payouts within the timeframe selected by the product creator. For example, if the creator has selected the 2-day payment schedule with a fee in their account, affiliates and cocreators will receive their sales within this timeframe.
❯ How to check which payment schedule is available in my account?
If the 2-day payment schedule with fee is available for your account, you will see three automatic payment schedule options following the steps above (My account > Financial information). These options may be 30 days (standard), 14 days, and 2 days (without the advance payout fee included in the installment fee).
If the 2-day payment schedule with a fee charged to the buyer is available for your account, you will only see the 30-day (standard) and 2-day (with the advance payout fee included in the installment fee) options.
If you wish to change the available options for your account, please contact our support team by clicking the blue Contact us button at the end of this article.
How do advance payouts work?
The Flexible Advance Payout is Hotmart's option for those who want complete freedom to choose when to receive their credit card sales payouts. The fee for this payout option is 3.99%.
Flexible Advance Payouts will only be available if you have selected the 14-day or 30-day (standard) payment schedule. This means that users with a 2-day payment schedule for sales payouts will not be able to use Flexible Advance Payout.

- Log in to Hotmart through the link https://app.hotmart.com/.
- In the left-hand menu, click on Sales.
- Click on Balance and then Request advance payout.
- On the new screen, you will be able to see the Total amount available for withdrawal and the Total amount available for advance. Select the second option.
- Fill in the field with the amount you want to withdraw and check the total amount you will receive, after deductions and fees.
- After verifying all information, click on Request advance payout.
- You can check the advance payouts requested in the History of advance payouts.
