Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:56 pm

If you’re new to Shopify, you may be wondering how long payment pending takes on the platform. The answer is that it depends on a few factors, including the payment method you’re using and your shop’s location.

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

One of the questions new Shopify users often have is about payment pending. When you create an online store with Shopify, you can choose from a variety of payment methods.

These include credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Amazon Pay. Depending on the payment method you choose, your customers will see different options at checkout.

If you’re using a credit or debit card as your payment method, your customers will see their card’s issuer (such as Visa or Mastercard) and your shop’s name on their statement. Payment pending usually takes a few days to process, and the funds will appear in your Shopify account once they’ve been processed.

PRO TIP: If you are waiting for a payment to go through on Shopify, be aware that it can take a few days for the payment to be processed. In the meantime, your order will be in a “pending” status.

If you’re using PayPal as your payment method, your customers will see “PayPal” and your shop’s name on their statement. Payment usually takes 3-5 days to process, and the funds will appear in your Shopify account once they’ve been processed.

If you’re using Apple Pay as your payment method, your customers will see “Apple Pay” and your shop’s name on their statement.

If you’re using Google Pay as your payment method, your customers will see “Google Pay” and your shop’s name on their statement.

If you’re using Amazon Pay as your payment method, your customers will see “Amazon Pay” and your shop’s name on their statement.

Depending on the payment method you choose, payments can take a few days to process and appear in your Shopify account. The time it takes for payments to go through can also be affected by things like bank holidays or weekends. In general, though, most payments take 3-5 days to process.
