Find out how you get the money from the payments processed with us
The funds for all transactchant accounts. This means you have the option to change how you get paid for each of your merchant accounts.
How payouts work
The funds for the transactions that we process for you are assigned to a payable batch based on your payout model. The Payable balance has the most up-to-date information about the current payable batch. The payable batch closes according to the payout frequency. If the Payable balance is positive when the payable batch closes, We instruct the payout to you.
The funds you get are calculated on a net basis. This means you get your sales from a given period, minus any costs over this period, for example refunds, chargebacks, or transaction costs.
Payout models
Which transactions are assigned to a payable batch depends on your payout model:
-
Sales Day Payout: Get the funds from a whole sales day in a single payout batch, regardless of whether the card scheme or payment method transferred the funds to us.
-
Pass-Through Payout: Get the funds from one sales day in several payout batches, depending on when the card scheme or payment method transfers the funds to Adyen.
Sales Day Payout is the default payout model. In Latin America, Africa, and Turkey, Pass-Through Payout is the only available payout model.
Payout frequency
How often we pay out to you is determined by the payout frequency. Depending on the currencies and banks involved, it may take up to two days for the payout funds to arrive in your account.
Bank holidays
On bank holidays, clearing for a specific currency may be closed and therefore we cannot process payouts. We also cannot receive funds.
This impacts when you receive your payout. The exact impact depends on the payout model used. More details on the exact impact per payout model can be found on Sales Day Payout and Pass-Through Payout.
If you would like to receive notifications on upcoming bank holidays for your currencies on a weekly basis, subscribe to the Balances & Payouts system messages in your Customer Area. For details, see System messages.

Payout batches and reporting
With both payout models, Adyen pays you on a net basis. This means your payable batch is made up from your sales figure from which we deduct:
- Transaction costs
- Refunds
- Chargebacks
- Other adjustments, for example balance transfers.
When the payable batch closes, we create a Settlement details report. This report contains information on the transactions that were credited or debited to your account, including the costs associated with these transactions.
To get your settlement details report we recommend you automatically generate and download reports.
