What is the difference between a scheduled deposit and instant deposit?

After a customer makes a purchase through your store via WooPayments, the funds from that transaction are placed into a pending balance on your account. If deposits aren’t suspended or disabled, you can either:

  1. Wait for the standard pending period to elapse to receive these funds.
    • Once the pending period is over, funds will be available for the next deposit.
    • Scheduled deposits such as these can take a day or more to arrive in your bank account.
    • There are no extra fees for these regular deposits.

NOTE: You can change the deposit schedule if you wish, between daily, weekly, and monthly.

  1. Utilize the Instant Deposits feature to transfer the funds immediately.
