When do I get paid for lessons I've taught?

Forte has partnered with Stripe for student billing and teacher payment, which means you can receive funds faster and securely. 

Your student is automatically charged for the lesson as soon as you finalize the lesson on your Billing tab. 

Teacher payouts occur within two business days of when the lesson was charged.

Tip: To ensure timely and regular payouts, you should make sure you're closing out the lessons on your Billing tab regularly, ideally as soon as the lessons are completed. 

 

To finalize a lesson:

  1. Log in to your Forte teacher account.
  2. Navigate to the Billing tab in your left-hand navigation panel.
  3. Click on "Lessons To Process."
  4. Set the attendance for the lesson. Your attendance options are:
    1. Student attended
    2. No-Show
    3. Canceled (late)
    4. Canceled
    5. Teacher not available
  5. Adjust the fee, if necessary.
    1. Note: Fees for a Trial Lesson cannot be adjusted.
  6. Click "Finalize Lesson"

Important: The lesson rate/fee you set represents how much you will be paid. Students will see a higher rate that includes Forte's fee.
