Why are my Shopify payouts still pending after 2 weeks?

Topic summary

  • Payouts remain in “Pending” for two weeks despite orders being received. The merchant reports bank details are entered and a payout schedule is set, but no funds have reached the account.

  • A participant asks clarifying questions: whether the orders were processed before completing setup of the payment gateway, and whether payments were taken via Shopify Payments or a different gateway. (A payment gateway is the service that processes customer payments.)

  • Key unknowns: the exact gateway used and whether the gateway setup/activation was complete at the time the orders were processed.

  • No decisions or fixes yet. The discussion is open and awaiting the merchant’s answers to diagnose why payouts are still pending.

Hi @samantha110 ,

Did you process these orders before you completed setup for your payment gateway? Were these orders processed via Shopify Payments or through a different gateway?
