Online Payment Processing Timeline

1. Your client pays by credit card or ACH/bank transfer/e-cheque. 

2. It takes approximately 2 business days via ACH or 2-3 business days via credit card to transfer the funds to your bank account.

ACH/Bank Transfer Example: If you receive an ACH/bank transfer payment before 2 p.m. EST, which is early morning UTC on the 25th, you should see the payout the next business day. For anything after 2 p.m. EST, the payout will appear within two business days.

Credit Card Example: If you receive a credit card payment at 12 p.m. EST on April 24th, which is early morning UTC on the 25th, you should expect to see the payout occur by the end of the day on the 27th UTC.

First Payment Process

In order to protect you from fraud, your first payment may take longer than normal to process, since we validate and review the transaction details. For first payments only, posting to your bank account may take up to 3-5 business days for credit card transactions, and 4-6 business days for ACH/bank transfer transactions. Future payments will follow the schedule listed above.

Online Payment Notifications

When your client pays you through online payments, you’ll get notified via email immediately after the payment has been made. You’ll be notified twice: Once when the payment has been paid and is pending, and once again when the payment has been authorised (once it’s been processed and approved by the issuing bank). 

The email will contain information such as the client’s name, the payment amount, the processing fee (if you chose to offset to the client), and a link to more details.

You can also always keep track of all your online payments using the online payment filter in the Financial Reports section.
