## Payments

Your profile is where you set up how you get paid for gigs and see what you've earned. These cards appear when your organization has payments enabled.

### Get set up to be paid

You control your own payout destination — organization admins never edit it for you. There are two ways to receive payouts:

* **Stripe Connect** — open the **Stripe Connect** card and click **Connect** to complete Stripe's hosted onboarding (identity, tax details, and bank account). Your status shows as *Setup Incomplete* until Stripe marks the account active; payouts are held until then. Use **Continue** to finish an incomplete setup.
* **Bank account (direct deposit)** — add your bank account under the **Bank Accounts** card and verify it with the two small micro-deposits Soundcheck sends. A verification badge shows whether it's Pending, Verifying, or Verified. Only a verified account can receive direct deposits.

### Payment history and earnings

Your profile shows a financial summary of your work: **completed payouts**, anything still **pending**, and your **total earnings**. The organization keeps the matching record on its side, so both you and your admins can trace any payout back to the gig it came from.

## Calendar sync

Your profile and settings include a calendar sync card for generating a private iCal feed of your Soundcheck gigs.

You can:

* Generate a private feed URL
* Subscribe from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook
* Rotate the token if the URL was shared by mistake
