Snackpass offers two payout schedule options:

When you join Snackpass, your default payout schedule is set to Daily. You can change your payout schedule at any time by going to:
​

Settings > Account & Tax > Payout Schedule
​

Under Schedule Management, select your preferred schedule and click Submit to save your changes.

Before diving into how payout schedules work, it helps to understand two key concepts: settlement and payout.
​
These are separate steps, and the difference explains why funds don't appear in your bank account the moment a customer pays.
​

Settlement is the process by which a completed transaction is verified, finalized, and funds become available in Snackpass's system. When a customer pays, the funds start in a pending state, they haven't been confirmed or cleared yet. Once the payment network (card networks, banks, etc.) verifies the transaction, the funds settle and become available for payout. Settlement timing varies depending on the payment method used and other factors.

Payout is the transfer of those settled, available funds from Snackpass into your bank account via ACH (Automated Clearing House). A payout can only happen after settlement is complete, you can't be paid out funds that haven't settled yet.
​

Think of it this way:

Customer pays → funds are pending → funds settle (become available) → funds are paid out to your bank
​

This two-step process is why there's a gap between when a sale happens and when money hits your account.
​

Each daily payout covers one full calendar day, from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM in your store's local time. It may also include refunds, adjustments, fees, or other balance changes from the same period. To see the full breakdown, download the payout report from your partner dashboard under Data > Sales > Payout History

Both your Sales Report and your daily payout cover the same 24-hour window, 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM in your store's local time, so they should generally be close. However, because payouts are based on when funds settle rather than when the sale occurred, the totals may not always match exactly.
​

Your Sales Report is still a great tool for tracking overall sales trends and broader business reporting. However, for payout reconciliation specifically, you should rely on your Payout Report.

For a more detailed view of how your sales translate into an expected payout, visit the Payout Reconciliation article.
​

To verify your payout is correct, you can use the accounting formula outlined in our Payouts Calculation article. When the result of that formula matches both the Net Payout and the Payout Amount shown in your report, your payout is accurate.

If the numbers don't add up after going through the formula, please reach out to our partner support team for assistance.

Snackpass payouts are processed automatically once transactions have settled. Settlement timing depends on the payment method used. Once funds are settled, they are paid out according to your selected payout schedule.
​

Actual deposit timing may vary depending on:

In most cases, partners currently see payouts arrive approximately 2 business days after the transaction date (T+2). For example, Monday sales typically deposit on Wednesday. However, timing can vary.

With Daily payouts:

In most cases, daily payout partners receive funds around 2 business days after the initation date, though timing may vary depending on settlement and banking timelines.
​

Weekend and Monday transactions are split into two payout batches:

If Monday or Tuesday falls on a bank holiday, the payout will be initiated on the next available business day.

With Weekly payouts:

Funds typically arrive within a few business days after processing, depending on your bank and settlement timing.

Snackpass is working on bringing Instant Payouts to partners, a feature that will let you access your settled funds immediately, rather than waiting for the standard payout schedule.
​

Standard payouts require waiting for both settlement (funds moving from pending to available) and then the payout cycle. Instant Payouts bypass the payout schedule step, once your funds have settled and are available, you'll be able to request an immediate transfer to your bank account.
​

This feature is in development. Stay tuned for updates from the Snackpass team.

Snackpass's expedited payout option is being discontinued as part of our payout system upgrade. Once your account is transitioned to automatic payouts, expedited payouts will no longer be available.
​

If you have questions about your current payout setup, please contact Partner Support.
