Managing your earnings as a developer is crucial for maintaining a steady cash flow, and understanding Google's payout system can help you plan accordingly. Payouts for developers (referred to as merchants by Google) are processed monthly on the 15th for the previous month’s sales. For example, earnings from August 1st to 31st will be paid out on September 15th. If the 15th falls on a weekend, the payout will be processed the following Monday. These regular monthly payments make it easy to anticipate when your earnings will be deposited.
