You bill for your work from the **Invoices** tab and receive your earnings through the **Payouts** tab.

## Submitting statements

For each engagement you submit a **service statement** covering a period of work. A statement includes the engagement, the period start and end, an amount, and a summary, and moves through these statuses:

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| **Draft** | Not submitted yet |
| **Submitted** | Sent to the client for review |
| **Approved** | The client approved it for payment |
| **Rejected** | The client declined it (with a reason) |
| **Changes Requested** | The client asked you to revise it |
| **Expired** | It lapsed without action |

## Setting up payouts

The **Payouts** tab is where you configure how you get paid and track what you've earned. Set up a payout account, then watch your payout history and net balance.

Your payout method depends on your country:

- **Stripe Connect Express** — most major markets
- **Stripe Cross-Border** — select additional countries
- **Wise** — broad coverage for everywhere else

Your payout history lists each payout or chargeback with its date, type, amount, and status (pending, processing, paid, or failed).

> **Note:**
> During certification you're commission-only and earn when meetings are booked. Once a client hires you, you also earn the monthly base and per-meeting rates set on your offer.
