Hoping to receive additional insight from others on here.

My client started his store in early May of 2025. They received a payout the first week, but everything has been on hold since. Support provides mixed messages. Some say that an email has been sent, others say that he needs to wait a few days for the email to be sent. It has been 4 weeks and no payout or additional information has been provided.

Is there anything else that can be done to expedite this process and have the payouts resume?

It is very common that payout hold and sometime not giving any information of fun holding. It is better to switch either PayvioniX, Stripe, Paypal or Adeyn.
Much better than default payment system.
