Understanding the Payouts Page and Payout Details

The Payouts page is your central hub for tracking funds processed through the platform and sent to your bank account. It provides an organized view of payout summaries, details of each payout, and a breakdown of associated transactions and fees. This guide will explain how to navigate the page, interpret the data, view payout details, and download reports. 1. Payouts Page Overview The Payouts page summarizes all payments sent to your account. This section helps you monitor financial activity efficiently. Key Metrics at a Glance At the top of the page, you’ll see three essential metrics: - Total Paid Out: The total amount sent to your bank account within the selected date range. This value is calculated as the sum of all net payouts. - Total Payouts: The total number of payout transactions completed during the selected date range. - Pending Approval to Payout: Any funds currently awaiting internal approval before they can be processed for payment. Filters and Customization To tailor the information displayed: 1. All Status: Filter payouts based on their approval status (e.g., Approved, Pending, or Failed). 2. Date Range: Select from predefined ranges (e.g., Last Month) or set a custom date range. 3. Merchant or Account: If applicable, filter payouts by merchant or account to see data relevant to specific entities. Payout Table Breakdown The table below the metrics provides detailed insights into each payout. Here are the columns and what they represent: - Created At: The date and time the payout was initiated. - Merchant: The business or entity associated with the payout (e.g., Central Dental). - Gross: The total value of transactions included in the payout before fees are deducted. - Fees: The total fees associated with the payout, including platform, processing, and other applicable charges. - Net Payout: The amount sent to your bank account after deducting fees. - Expected Arrival: The estimated date for the payout to be deposited into your account. - Status: Indicates whether the payout has been Approved, Pending, or Failed. 2. Viewing Payout Details Each payout entry in the table is clickable, providing a deep dive into the payout's composition. The Payout Detail window includes the following: Transaction Breakdown - Transaction Date & Time: The timestamp for when each transaction was processed. - Transaction Type: Whether it was a debit, credit, or other transaction types. - Account Identifier: Details about the account or instrument associated with the transaction (e.g., Last 4 digits of the bank account). - Amount: The gross value of the transaction. - Fees: Specific fees applied to this transaction. - Net Contribution: The amount from this transaction that contributes to the overall payout. Fees Breakdown The fees associated with each transaction are displayed transparently. This allows you to understand how fees impact the net amount you receive. Expected Arrival The estimated date by which the payout will reach your bank account is listed. If there is any delay or deviation from this timeline, you can contact your account manager for clarification. Example: A payout of $229.78 might include: - Transaction Amount: $236.95 - Fee Deducted: $7.17 - Net Contribution to Payout: $229.78 This detail ensures you can track each transaction's impact on the payout total. 3. Downloading Reports You can export data for your records or further analysis using the download functionality: Payout Report The general payout report summarizes all payouts within a selected time frame. To download: 1. Navigate to the top right corner of the Payouts page. 2. Click the Download Report button. 3. Select your preferred file format (e.g., CSV, PDF). This report is ideal for accounting and financial audits. Payout Detail Report For granular insights into a specific payout, download its details: 1. Open the Payout Detail window by clicking on a specific payout. 2. Click the Download button within the window. 3. Save the report in your desired format. This report includes a breakdown of transactions, fees, and the net payout amount. 4. Tips for Managing Payouts - Reconciliation: Use the detailed payout reports to reconcile transactions with your internal accounting systems. - Fee Monitoring: Review the fees associated with each transaction to understand cost implications and optimize payment methods where possible. - Timing: Keep track of the Expected Arrival dates to ensure payouts align with your cash flow requirements. - Addressing Issues: If any discrepancies arise, such as delayed payments or mismatched amounts, contact your account manager or support team immediately. 5. Frequently Asked Questions Why is my payout delayed? Delays may occur due to bank processing times, holidays, or if additional approval is required. Check the Status and Expected Arrival dates for more information. Can I see which transactions are included in a payout? Yes! Click on any payout in the table to open the Payout Detail window. This will show the transactions and fees associated with that specific payout. Can I download reports for custom date ranges? Absolutely! Use the date filter at the top of the Payouts page to select your desired range and then download the report. By using the Payouts page effectively, you can track your funds with confidence, identify trends, and ensure your financial data is accurate.

Configuring Payout Settings

The Payout Settings page gives you control over how and when funds are deposited into your bank account. Whether you prefer to receive payouts daily or on a monthly schedule, or want to customize how fees are handled, our flexible options are designed to fit your needs. Here's everything you need to know about configuring your payout settings. 1. Choosing Your Payout Frequency You can choose between Next Day Payouts or Monthly Payouts based on your office’s cash flow requirements: Next Day Payouts - Funds are deposited into your bank account on the next business day after they are processed. - Ideal for businesses that prefer steady cash flow and need access to funds quickly. - Note: Processing cut-off times may vary; transactions processed late in the day may be included in the next day’s batch. Monthly Payouts - Funds are accumulated throughout the month and deposited in one lump sum at the end of the month. - Suitable for offices that prefer to minimize the number of transactions in their bank account for easier reconciliation. - The exact date of the monthly payout can be found in your account settings. How to Update Payout Frequency 1. Navigate to the Payout Settings page in your account. 2. Under Payout Frequency, select either “Next Day” or “Monthly.” 3. Save your changes to apply the new settings. 2. Configuring Fee Deduction Preferences By default, payouts are sent as the net amount, with all fees deducted before the funds are deposited. However, for offices that prefer to reconcile fees separately, we also offer the option to deposit the gross amount and deduct fees on a monthly basis. Net Amount (Default Setting) - All fees (e.g., processing fees, platform fees) are deducted from each transaction before the payout is sent. - The net amount you see in your reports is the exact amount deposited into your bank account. - This is the most commonly used setting and simplifies daily cash flow management. Gross Amount with Monthly Fee Deduction - The full gross amount of your transactions is deposited into your account without any fees deducted upfront. - Fees are then tallied at the end of each month and deducted as a single lump sum from your linked bank account. - This setting is beneficial for offices that prefer to reconcile fees separately from their revenue. How to Update Fee Deduction Preferences 1. Go to the Payout Settings page in your account. 2. Under Fee Deduction Preferences, select: - Net Amount: Deduct fees from each transaction (default). - Gross Amount: Deposit the gross amount and deduct fees monthly. 3. Confirm and save your settings. 3. Best Practices for Reconciliation Regardless of your settings, reconciling your transactions and fees is crucial for accurate financial tracking. Here are some tips: For Net Amount Users: - Use the payout reports to match deposits with corresponding transactions. - Fees are already deducted, so the net payout aligns directly with your bank deposits. For Gross Amount Users: - At the end of the month, download the Monthly Fee Report from the platform to review the total fees deducted. - Ensure the lump-sum fee deduction matches the fees displayed in your reports. 4. Frequently Asked Questions What happens if my account doesn’t have enough funds for the monthly fee deduction? If your linked bank account doesn’t have sufficient funds, we will notify you via email. You may need to top up your account or contact support to resolve the issue. Can I switch between net and gross fee deduction at any time? Yes! You can update your fee deduction preference at any time in the Payout Settings page. Changes will apply to future payouts. Is there an additional cost for next-day payouts? Next-day payouts do not incur additional fees but are subject to the standard processing fees applied to all transactions. 5. How to Access Payout Settings To access your payout settings: 1. Log in to your account and navigate to the Settings section. 2. Click on Payout Settings. 3. Update your Payout Frequency or Fee Deduction Preferences as desired. 4. Save your changes. By customizing your payout settings, you can optimize your cash flow and streamline financial operations to suit your office’s unique needs.

Viewing Transaction Payouts and Timelines in the Billing App

Overview When a payment is processed through the billing app, the associated payout details are attached and displayed for your reference. This includes the payout amount, date, and estimated arrival timeline, which are influenced by your payout settings. Understanding Payout Settings Your payout schedule determines when funds from a transaction are disbursed to your account. The billing app offers the following configurations: - Default Settings: - Monthly: Payouts are processed once a month on a set date. - Next Day: Payouts are processed the business day following the transaction. - Custom Option: - Same Day: Payouts can be configured to process on the same day as the transaction, if set up in your account settings. For example, a transaction paid on 05/08/2025 with a next-day payout setting will have a payout date of 05/09/2025. If set to same-day, the payout date would be 05/08/2025. Monthly payouts will depend on your specified monthly payout date. Viewing Payout Details The "Payout Attached" section provides key details: - Payout Date: The date the payout is initiated, based on your payout settings. For a transaction on 05/08/2025 with a next-day setting, the payout date is 05/09/2025. - Amount: The total payout amount, which includes the transaction amount minus fees. For a transaction of $849.06 with $20.29 in fees, the payout amount might be $6,999.84 (reflecting a batch of transactions). - Estimated Arrival (Est Arrival): The estimated date the payout will arrive in your account, typically the same as the payout date for next-day or same-day settings, or later for monthly settings. Click the "View Payout" button next to the "Payout Attached" section to see full payout details. Breakdown of Transaction Amounts The app displays a breakdown of the transaction: - Amount: The total transaction amount (e.g., $849.06). - Fees: The processing fees deducted (e.g., $20.29). - Net Deposit: The amount deposited into your account after fees (e.g., $828.77). Important Notes - Payout timelines are estimates and may vary depending on your bank’s processing times and your payout settings. - The payout amount may include multiple transactions batched together, which is why the payout amount might be larger than the individual transaction amount. - To adjust your payout settings (e.g., switching to same-day payouts), contact your account manager. - If you have questions about a payout or its timeline, reach out to your account manager for assistance.

Configuring Payout Settings and Understanding Additional Details in the Billing App

Overview The billing app allows you to customize how and when you receive payouts for transactions. The "Payout Settings" section provides options to configure your payout schedule, along with additional details to help you understand the payout process and timelines. Configuring Payout Settings In the "Payout Settings" tab, you can adjust the following options to control how payouts are processed: - Payout Type: Choose the type of payout. The default is "Net," which means the payout amount is the transaction total minus any fees. - Settlement Frequency: Determines how often payouts are processed.

The default is "No Delay," but you can introduce a delay (e.g., 1-2 business days) if preferred. For example, the screenshot shows a "Daily" settlement frequency with "Next-day ACH" funding transfer speed and "No Delay," meaning payouts are processed daily and deposited the next business day. Additional Information Provided The app provides extra details to help you understand when payouts will be deposited into your bank account: Payout Bank Account This section displays the bank account where payouts will be deposited: - Routing Number: The bank’s routing number (e.g., 063100277). - Account Number: The bank account number (partially masked for security, e.g., XXXXXXXX7772). - Account Name: The name on the account (e.g., Cooper Creek Dental). Settlement Batch Time This section shows how transactions are batched for processing within a 24-hour cycle: - Accrual Start Time: The time when transactions start being batched (e.g., 9:00 PM PT). - Batch Behavior: The default behavior for batching (e.g., "Default"). Payout Schedule Preview The "Payout Schedule Preview" table helps you understand when funds will be deposited based on the day a settlement is approved: - Transactions approved before 4 PM PT on a given day will be deposited according to your payout settings. - The table shows the estimated deposit day for each day of the week: - Monday: Deposited on Tuesday (next-day ACH). - Tuesday: Deposited on Wednesday. - Wednesday: Deposited on Thursday. - Thursday: Deposited on Friday. - Friday: Deposited on the following Monday. - Saturday: Deposited on the following Tuesday. - Sunday: Deposited on the following Tuesday. For example, with a next-day ACH setting, a transaction settled on Friday before 4 PM PT will be deposited on the following Monday. Important Notes - Payout schedules are estimates and may vary based on bank processing times or holidays. - To change your payout settings (e.g., switching to same-day ACH or adjusting settlement frequency), contact your account manager. - Ensure your bank account details are correct to avoid delays in receiving payouts. - If you have questions about your payout schedule or need assistance, reach out to your account manager.
