5. Floating and Transaction Times

Part 5 • Crucial Financial Clarity - The Fulfillment Payment

It's important to be aware of processing times. While the sequence described above is functionally instantaneous, the actual movement of money can take a few days. When a customer pays you, it may take 2-3 business days for the payment processor to deposit the funds into your bank account. However, Printify will typically charge your card for the fulfillment cost much sooner, often within 24 hours. This means for a brief period, the fulfillment cost might be drawn from your account before the customer's payment has fully settled. This is called "the float."
