It takes 2 weeks to get your first payout. The pay period ends and goes pending, then you are paid for that pay period the following Friday.
The paid status on invoices is marked as such when we send the payment list out to Paypal, Wise, Stripe, etc. This does not accurately represent the payment's status within Paypal, Wise, Stripe, etc., bu rather shows the status of the payment solely within our system.
You can create an invoice by going to the "Billing" page, and then click the box for "Include Charges" under "Generate Billing History".
To get an understanding of prices, the best place is 500farms which is a third party website that monitors Vast listings. The link is here.
