    Understanding deposit information


    The Bank Deposits page provides key details to help you reconcile your payment information:

    • Sales: This is the total value of the transactions included in a specific deposit.

    • Fees: This shows the amount of processing fees associated with the batch.

    • Fee Saver: If you have Fee Saver (surcharging) enabled, this is where you would see the amount you passed onto the customer.

    • Amount: This is the net amount that was deposited into your bank account after fees were deducted.

    Viewing deposits in the Payments tool


    You can also view deposits under the Credit Card Batches or ACH Bank Batches sections, within the Payments tool.

    Each line item will provide more detailed information:

    • The deposit amount column shows your total processed sales, minus any chargebacks, refunds, or returns.

    • The total fees column shows your fees.

    Updating your bank account information


    You may want to update your bank account information if you’ve recently changed banks, or are looking to change your account to one that is compatible with Faster Deposits. You can update this information within the Banking page in the My Business tool.

    FAQ & Troubleshooting

    How long do deposits take?

    • 1 to 2 business days for credit card transactions

    • 4 to 5 business days for bank (ACH) transactions

    How do I get my deposits faster?

    If you're a US merchant processing credit or debit card transactions, you might be eligible for Faster Deposits, which uses Real-Time Payment (RTP) rails or FedNow for quicker funding.

    However, availability depends on factors like your bank's participation in the Real-Time Payments (RTP) or FedNow network. If your bank doesn't currently support RTP or FedNow, you may want to consider changing your linked bank account to one that does.
