Deposits are created on each US banking day, for every merchant who has funds to be deposited.

Deposit timing is expressed in a "T+X" format, where T equals the processing date of the payin and X equals the number of business days until the payin is made available to the merchant in a deposit. The payin status will move from Processing to Succeeded when it becomes available to the merchant to be deposited.

For example: T+1 would indicate that a payin processed on Monday would be deposited to the merchant on Tuesday.

One deposit per day will be sent to each merchant if funds are available for deposit, regardless of the day they were processed on.

For example: Card payins on a T+1 deposit timing processed on Friday, Saturday, Sunday will deposit on Monday in a single deposit.

Deposit timing

---

Deposit timing is set per merchant, within the platform's allowed ranges ,and per payment method type (i.e. card payins may have a different deposit timing than ACH payins).

Payins

Rainforest's standard timing is T+1 for Card payins and T+4 for ACH payins.

Timing can vary per platform, please reach out to [email protected] for timing configuration.

Other payment types

Payment types that are not payins, such as refunds, chargebacks, and ACH returns follow a T+1 deposit timing and is not configurable by merchant. These payment types are generally reversals and therefore, the funds will be deducted from the merchant the next business day.

Daily cutoff times

---

Payins submitted after the cutoff time will be following the timing of the next day as T.

For example: A card payin entered at 11:30 p.m. ET on Monday with a T+1 deposit timing setting, will follow a timing of Tuesday as T and will be deposited to the merchant on Wednesday.

Weekends and banking holidays

---

Card

A card payin processed on a weekend or banking holiday will be available for deposit timing calculations starting on the next business day. T will be the day the payin was processed, even on a weekend or banking holiday. X will begin the next business day after T.

For example: A card processed on a Saturday with a T+1 deposit timing setting, will be deposited to the merchant on Monday. T (Saturday) + 1 (Monday)

ACH

An ACH payin processed on a weekend or banking holiday will start the "T" calculation on the next business day. T will be the day the payin was processed if it's a banking day, or the next business day if it's a weekend or banking holiday. X will begin the next business day after T.

For example: An ACH entered on a Saturday with a T+1 deposit timing setting, will be deposited to the merchant on Tuesday. T (Monday) + 1 (Tuesday)
