Hi @Mikesmobilemech. Have you been receiving your payments as expected before now? Is this anew issue?

Usually funds are available pretty quickly. But there are reasons for delays sometimes. If you’re a new seller and the transaction amounts are large there might be short delays until the system learns your averages. If you’ve processed for a while and have an unusually large transaction, that can sometimes trigger a delay.

How long has it been since you took the payment?

Hi @Allenw4you - I'm sorry to hear that this issue with your payment has brought you to the Seller Community! 😥

This does sound off, but it's difficult to pinpoint what may be happening without looking at your account with you, which we aren't able to do via the Seller Community. For this type of issue, I suggest that you get in touch with our Support Team. If you haven't already, please reach out to Support directly by logging into your Square account and heading here.

It varies on the type of card for me and the time of day. It could be seconds and other times an hour. Sometimes it won't show in my Square Register balance right away but it is already in the Dashboard balance.
