Shop Pay Installments Payout Failing

Topic summary

Shop Pay Installments (SPI) payouts are failing while regular Shopify Payments deposits succeed. Multiple merchants report failed SPI payouts clustered around Jan 27–31; banks show no issues.

Key updates:

  • Support acknowledged an SPI-specific incident (reported window: Jan 28–31) and told some merchants payouts would be retried by Feb 8. Mixed results followed.
  • By Feb 9, several merchants confirmed retried payouts arrived (e.g., a $1,200 payout), and some January failures cleared the same day. Others still report missing funds 20+ days later with tickets pending and limited visibility into “back office” review.

Impact:

  • Delayed access to sizable funds, bookkeeping disruptions, and cash-flow stress (bill payments at risk).

Merchant responses:

  • Some disabled SPI or plan to stop using it due to delays; others consider waiting until Shopify confirms stability.
  • Question persists whether disabling SPI affects pending payouts; peers suggest it shouldn’t, but there’s no official confirmation in-thread.
  • Help-center and Reddit links shared; some generic advice posts appear non-authoritative.

Status: Partially resolved. Retries have succeeded for many, but not all. Timeline for remaining failed payouts remains unclear; discussion ongoing.

No its still the same two days Jan 27 and Jan 31 any installments pays failed. We added new products on 1/27 and had a lot of traffic that day, so there were 15 install pay transacations so that adds up on 1/31 there was only 1, but still.
