Q: Can I change my batch out time?
Click the arrow to learn more.
Click the arrow to learn more.
The batch time can be changed, but Stripe is limited on what times they can do batching.
We can change the batch times to be 12 AM - 11:59 PM in your time zone to have all the transactions deposited on the same day and better line up with DaySmart reports.
Changing the batch time means Stripe has to batch these funds separately and can take a bit longer, resulting in a 2-day delay to receive your funds instead of the normal next-day deposit.
If the batch timeframe of 12 AM - 11:59 PM and a 2-day deposit delay works for your business, please 💬 Contact Us and let us know your time zone and that you'd like to update your batch time so we can reach out to Stripe and get that updated for you.
