What is the average payout time for funds?
You can expect to see money deposited into your account within 1 business day after a transaction is made. Payouts are done on every business day (Monday through Friday). A number of circumstances may affect this timeline, including delays caused by banking systems or risk monitoring. For further details on when to expect your funds, please refer to our documentation on payouts. Please note that for your first payout, deposits may take up to four business days.
How do refunds work?
One of the benefits of using Lightspeed Payments is that you will be able to make a refund directly from within the order page. Our integrated system will save you time and energy on potential refunds when they happen. When you arrange a refund, the processing fee will not be returned to your account.
