# Paying funds out to a Freelancer

Once a job has been delivered by the Freelancer, the Customer can mark it as complete. This will trigger a workflow that contains the 'Stripe - Manual Payout' action:

This action releases funds from the Freelancer's Stripe account to their bank account.

### Dealing with insufficient funds

Sometimes there will not be sufficient 'available' funds in the Freelancer's Stripe account to pay out. This can happen for a number of reasons (see the section at 10:02 of [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn2PHfTkA8Y) for full details).

The template has built-in logic to deal with this scenario. If there is not sufficient funds in the Freelancer's account for an immediate payout, it schedules the payout to occur in 7 days time via a backend workflow:
