    Estimated next payment

    Use the Estimated next payment card to view the amount that will be remitted to you at the next payout by 2Checkout. The Estimated next payment amount is expressed in the payout currency available on your account.

    Deposit balance

    Use the Deposit balance card to view the total amount 2Checkout owes you for the deposits retained on your account. Your account Deposit balance is computed by adding up the deposit amounts withheld in the past 90 days.

    The Deposit balance amount is displayed in the payout available on your account.

    Report information

    The estimated current balance report returns account balance information for each of your payout currencies. In case you have updated your payout currency, data from the table is displayed using your new payout currency.

    The time zone used for displaying the data is GMT+2. Your current account balance is split based on:

    • Reporting period - Sales, fees, refunds, and any activity with financial impact are displayed within the reporting period when it incurred. For each reporting period row, 2Checkout displays the Estimated payout date (when your payout will be remitted). Note that the estimated payout date might change if your transfer limit is not reached.
    • Amount source - Your account balance is displayed based on the amount source type (sales, fees, refunds, chargeback fees, reserves retained, reserves released, or transfer type).
