The Finance Board (Manage → Organization → Finance) now includes a Payout Readiness section that scans employee payout accounts across the selected organization.

This view is designed for operators who need to answer three questions quickly:

  1. Which employees are fully payout-ready?
  2. Which employees need follow-up before they can withdraw?
  3. Which records can move forward immediately, and which ones need the normal provisioning flow first?

What the Readiness Scan Checks

For each employee in scope, Aplauso checks:

  • Whether the employee is linked to a user account
  • Whether a live or sandbox wallet record exists
  • Whether the wallet has a valid Stripe Connect account ID
  • Whether Stripe onboarding is complete
  • Whether a payout bank account is connected
  • Whether Stripe payouts are enabled
  • Whether Stripe transfer and payment capabilities are active

Readiness States

StateMeaningTypical Next Step
ReadyWallet exists and Stripe account is payout-readyNo action needed
Needs AttentionThe employee has a wallet, but onboarding or banking is incompleteAsk the employee to finish Stripe setup
BlockedA hard blocker exists, such as no linked user or Stripe disabling payoutsManual operator follow-up required

Common Blockers

You may see tags such as:

  • No linked user account
  • Wallet not provisioned
  • Stripe account missing
  • Wallet needs recreation
  • Stripe onboarding incomplete
  • Bank account missing
  • Payouts disabled in Stripe
  • Transfers capability inactive

These tags come directly from the current wallet record and Stripe account state.

Repair Wallets

The Repair Wallet action now verifies the current wallet state for the selected environment instead of silently creating a new live Stripe wallet.

When you run it, Aplauso will:

  • confirm whether the existing wallet record still points to a valid Stripe account
  • refresh manual payout settings on a valid account when needed
  • tell you when the worker must return to the normal provisioning flow first

If a live wallet is missing or needs recreation, the worker must provision it through the normal auth account flow.

If a sandbox wallet is missing, create it by switching the worker into Sandbox Mode from the dashboard payment settings.

Property Hotspots

The left side of the section groups readiness issues by property so regional operators can see where the concentration of payout blockers is highest.

Use this when:

  • onboarding a newly launched property
  • cleaning up older records after data migration
  • checking whether a portfolio is ready before going live

Employee Blockers

The blocker list shows each affected employee with:

  • employee name
  • property name
  • current severity (Attention or Blocked)
  • whether the issue is a wallet-state blocker, onboarding blocker, or banking blocker
  • the exact readiness tags for that employee

Operational Guidance

Use Repair Wallet first to verify the current account state, then send the worker back through auth or the dashboard Sandbox Mode toggle when a wallet still needs to be created.

Use manager follow-up when onboarding is incomplete or the employee has not linked a bank account.

Escalate to support or operations when Stripe has disabled payouts or the employee record has no linked user account.
