Close out a completed lesson
Closing out a lesson tells Handspring the session happened and releases the payment to you.
Updated June 4, 2026
Before you start
The lesson must be
Confirmed and its start time must be in the past. Your bank account must be connected so funds have somewhere to land.Close out the lesson#

The funds move from
Future to Available (or to Pending while a card payment finishes processing).How the money moves#
Closing out is what converts a finished lesson into money you can withdraw. Where the funds land depends on the payment method:
| Payment method | Where funds land | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Card | Pending → Available | After the charge settles |
| ACH / bank | Pending → Available | After the transfer clears |
| Cash | Recorded only | Tracked, no transfer |
Exact timing depends on your gym and Stripe settings.
Once funds are Available, you can request a payout. To understand the balance buckets, see Available, Pending, and Future balances.
Troubleshooting#
- The card was declined. The lesson moves to the
Unpaidtab, where you can retry the charge or contact the parent. - The lesson isn't in the queue yet. Close-out becomes available once the lesson's start time has passed.
