Hello,

I just did my first sale and the money hasn’t hit my account. How long will it take to process.

Hi there @Andreawarke.. I see you posted this yesterday. Has the money made it to your balance yet? Usually, routine transactions show up in our balances pretty quickly -- on the order of minutes. But sometimes things happen to delay them, so it would be helpful to know what kind of transaction it was, the amount range, and how it was paid (in person card, online store card, etc).

@Andreawarke ;

Along with @TheRealChipA said, since you mention Your Account, are you referring to your Squares Account or your Bank Account outside of Square? Your Square Balance should show the amount almost immediately, but your Bank Account outside of Square takes till the next Business Day depending on your Account Settings.

The article @Candlestore shared above usually helped resolved any issue related to setting up your transfer, whether it's automatic, manual or instant. I'll go ahead and mark it as the solution for now but if you are still having issue receiving transfer to your account, I'd recommend contacting our support team directly @Andreawarke as they'll be able to check account-specific setting for you.
