How long does it take to get paid from Shopify?
Pay period is the amount of time between the day a customer places an order on your site and the day your bank account receives the money from that order. You can identify the day a customer places an order on your store as the time that the customer places the order in the UTC zone. Shopify groups the funds from orders placed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and then sends together as one payment.
Keep in mind that the funds may not pop up in your bank account immediately once they are sent. It normally takes banks from 24 to 72 hours to process deposits to your bank account.
Your pay period varies by the country where your store is based. You can take a look at the pay period by country below:
| Country | Pay period |
|---|---|
| Australia | Two business days |
| United States | |
| Canada | Three business days |
| Denmark | |
| Germany | |
| Ireland | |
| The Netherlands | |
| New Zealand | |
| Spain | |
| United Kingdom | |
| Hong Kong SAR China | Four business days |
| Italy | |
| Singapore | |
| Sweden |
It is also noteworthy that if your business is based in Japan, then you receive payment on Fridays. The pay period is five days, plus the remaining number of days to Friday. For instance, if your customer places an order on your site on Wednesday, then on Friday of the following week, or 8 business days later, the funds from that order will be sent to your bank account. If customer places an order on your site on Sunday, then on Friday of the same week, or 5 business days later, the funds from that order will be sent to your bank account.
Shopify payment FAQs
How do I get paid?
Shopify Payments will transfer funds to the bank account you have entered on the Payment providers page in your Shopify admin. The account you use to accept payouts should be a full checking account or a current account in the UK and Ireland.

Can I get my money faster?

What counts as a business day?
Business days are from Monday to Friday, excluding federal holidays for retailers in the United States, and statutory holidays for retailers in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Why does my payout show “Paid”, but no funds have been deposited?
Shopify performs daily fund-transfers; however, a majority of banks only process the transfer on business days.

For transfers sent on business days, you will notice the funds by the following day.
If the transfer was sent on a business day, but you do not see the money in your bank account after several days, then the transfer may have failed.

My payout failed, what do I do?
Once there is a transfer failure, payouts to your bank account are put on hold till the issue is settled. To solve the issue that causes your transfers to fail, you can follow the guidance on the Transfer failed banner on your Payouts page. For instance, you may need to update your banking details, or to tap on Retry payout.
If you update your bank account in order to a valid checking account, the failed transfers will be automatically retried in the next 72 hours. If your current account is valid and you do not understand what caused the transfer failure, then you ought to contact your bank promptly to square it right away.
Why are all my payouts 30 days apart?
In some circumstances, your orders are prone to a 30-day payout period based on the items that you offer and following the payment partner for some businesses. You will get direct notifications if your account has a 30-day payout period rather than a regular payout period.
