How can I halt a pending payout before Shopify fees are deducted?

[ff22]

Hi- I’ve captured a payment and it’s pending payout. Is there any way I can stop it paying out before the Shopify fee is taken as I don’t want the money to go into my business account yet as it may need refunded.

Hi, @ff22!
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.

It appears as if you are using Shopify Payments and are referring to payouts through our in-house gateway. Transactions share the same status as payouts with the addition of the Pending status. Transactions marked as Pending are for sales that you've made, but that haven't been sent to your bank account yet. We'd be happy to take a closer look here to determine your next steps. Since we're unable to view account specific details over the Community Forums, kindly get in touch with our team through the Help Center. If you see the chat assistant, you can ask to contact support and it'll guide you with your next steps on how to connect with a team member. 

Let me know how that goes!

Thank you. I managed to find an article that said I can refund and if I have paid out the fund it will deduct the amount from

my next sale. So that helps 👍🏽
