Many organizations expect all sales from a single calendar day to be deposited together in one payout. However, this is not how Stripe's payout system works.
When your account is configured for daily payouts, Stripe creates a payout each business day for funds that have become available, not necessarily for every transaction that occurred on the same date.
How Funds Become Available
Most payments follow a T+2 schedule, meaning funds typically become available two business days after the charge is processed. However, the exact timing can vary based on several factors, including:
The time of day the payment was processed
The customer's payment method or card type
Weekends and bank holidays
Stripe's payment processing timelines
Because of these variables, two transactions processed on the same day may become available at different times.
Example
For example, let's pretend we have two purchases made on June 30:
A ticket purchase completed at 11:33 AM may become available in time for a payout deposited on July 2.
A subscription purchase completed at 8:15 PM may not become available until the following payout, resulting in a deposit on July 3.
Although both transactions occurred on the same date, they were included in different payouts because they became available at different times.
Reconciling Your Deposits
When reconciling deposits, it's important to match transactions based on the Stripe payout they are associated with rather than the date the transaction occurred. A single day's sales may be split across multiple payouts, and a single payout may contain transactions from multiple processing dates. This behavior is expected and is part of Stripe's standard payout process.
