Shopify withholding payout

Shopify withholding payout

Shopify is withholding my payout due to my "details" not being verified.  I'm told all the Account Verification department has to do is to lift the restriction (as I guess I tried to input my information too many times) but it's been over a week and still nothing. I've contacted them 3 times this week and I get vague answers.  I have multiple markets coming up and I don't want to use them anymore if there is no end in sight of when I'll get my payout.  

 

I don't know what to do.  This is extremely frustrating. I have a handmade business so not only do I sell but I make everything I sell so I don't have time to have to constantly follow-up to see where my money is. 

 

HELP!!!

I'm having the same issue. Been waiting 3 weeks for an email from this apparent Verification team to have my bank account verified. FOR THE SECOND TIME. Several times over the past 3 weeks I've contacted support. They all say the same thing. Please wait. They will fix. I cannot give you an estimated time for a fix. There's nothing you can do but wait. Sounds very suspicious to me. If this keeps up, I don't think I'll give Shopify anymore monthly payments and go elsewhere.

Same.  I have been in business with Shopify for 10 years and nothing has change my end and NOW, with no notice, no information they are holding $25K hostage.  Last month it was $43K and after HOURS on chat with support, suddenly the next day it was released.  This is outrageous and a violation of Shopify's own terms (payments are made each business day).  Ironically, while they are holding my money hostage, I am being hit up CONSTANTLY  by Shopify Capital to loan me money because my business is so good.  Class action, anyone?

I’m sorry to hear that. After I received my money, I contacted them to ask
what could be done to prevent this from happening again, and basically the
answer was “nothing.” So because I was so new to business and this website
platform, I was able to change my website to another company with minimal
interruptions.

I hope you find a way to resolve this issue quickly. It is a significant
hindrance to conducting business.
