When you use Shopify payment as your payment method, you cannot only track for the balance of the payout but also can set the day that you will get paid.

By default, it is set to be paid daily as soon as your funds are available to be paid out. In case you want to fix the time you receive payment, you can set it to be weekly or monthly based on your taste. After adjusting the schedule, the time you actually receive payments and the time shown in your Shopify account may be different because of the transfer process. The difference is just a few days that it is still a useful option for users. In this article, I will introduce to you how to schedule your payouts on Shopify.
