How do I transfer my Shopify balance to my newly connected bank account?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

  • Merchant reports making over $5k in sales (later $11.4k) before connecting a bank account and asks how to withdraw. They cannot see funds in Shopify Balance (Shopify’s business account) or transfer to their bank, and request a call/screenshare.

  • Support provides a help article on transferring funds from Shopify Balance to a bank and notes the need to add/connect a destination account. For account‑specific investigation into missing or non‑transferable funds, support directs the merchant to the Help Centre for secure assistance.

  • Merchant asks if they should send their email and password. Support clarifies not to send credentials; identity will be verified via secure processes in the Help Centre.

  • Status: Unresolved in‑thread. Next step is to contact the Help Centre to review the account and address why funds aren’t appearing/transferring, then proceed with withdrawals once verified.
