When do payments arrive in my Pro account?
- For your first payout: there’s a 7-day waiting period. This is necessary for risk mitigation and cannot be waived under any circumstances
- 24-hour settlement: your settlement time will go from 7 days to 24 hours after you successfully process one in-person sale or accept a certain number of online payments without any chargebacks
Once you unlock 24-hour settlement, all future payments will arrive in your account within 24 hours. Settlement timeframes may vary based on your transaction history and whether your account requires any additional checks.
