How Long Does It Take for Shopify to Pay You?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:31 pm

If you’re thinking about using Shopify to sell products online, you’re probably wondering how quickly you’ll get paid. After all, one of the most important aspects of any business is making sure you have a steady cash flow.

The short answer is that Shopify pays out 2 days after your customer’s purchase. So if someone buys something from your store on Monday, you’ll receive the payment on Wednesday.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Shopify to sell products online, be aware that there is a delay in payments. Shopify does not pay sellers immediately after a sale is made. Instead, there is a waiting period of 2-3 days for the funds to become available. This can be frustrating if you are counting on the money from sales to pay for inventory or other business expenses. Make sure you have enough cash on hand to cover any short-term needs before signing up for Shopify.

Of course, there are some exceptions to this rule. If a customer pays with a bank transfer or eCheck, the payment may take a few extra days to process. And if you’re using Shopify Payments, there are also some potential delays depending on your bank and location.

But in general, you can expect to receive payments pretty quickly after someone buys something from your Shopify store. And if you need access to the money sooner, you can always use Shopify’s accelerated payments feature. With this feature, Shopify will pay you out within 1-2 days after a purchase is made (as long as it’s made before 2:00 pm EST).

So if you’re looking for a platform that can help you get paid quickly, Shopify is a good option. Just keep in mind that there may be some delays depending on your payment method and location.
