# Awaiting Payment

> Efficiently manage and process payouts for sold consigner inventory, ensuring timely compensation according to Seller Tiers through Checkbook.io.

## About

The Awaiting Payment page provides an overview of Consigner inventory that has been sold and is awaiting payment. Once a Consigner is paid for their Item, the status will be updated to **Paid** and moved to the [Paid](/platform/payouts/paid) page. The amount a Consigner receives for their sale depends on their specific [Seller Tier](/platform/store-settings/seller-tiers).

Since Bind payment integration uses [Checkbook](https://checkbook.io/), a positive bank balance is required. When a payout is submitted, it's deducted from the bank balance.
