Why This Happens

Stripe may extend your payout schedule from the standard 2-business-day rolling to longer periods (7, 14, or 30 days). This happens with new accounts during the initial evaluation period, accounts with elevated chargeback rates, businesses in higher-risk categories, or as a risk mitigation measure during account reviews.

Example Notification

"Your payout schedule has been adjusted. Funds will now be available on a 14-day rolling schedule instead of the standard 2-day schedule."
