PayPal Payout & Settlement Schedule
Weekly summary of pending payouts and settlement status from PayPal to your bank.
Nora pulls PayPal transaction data, calculates net payouts (fees deducted), and confirms when funds have been transferred to your bank. Shows trends and helps forecast cash availability.
PayPal takes fees from every transaction, and knowing your true payout and settlement timing is essential for cash forecasting. This automation runs weekly and pulls all PayPal transactions from the past 7 days, groups by transaction type (sales, refunds, disputes, fees), and calculates your net payout after PayPal takes its cut. It shows: gross sales, PayPal fees, net proceeds, and settlement date (usually 1–3 business days). Nora confirms when the transfer has actually posted to your bank and flags any delays. The report includes a monthly trend view so you can forecast future payouts and plan your cash. For businesses with variable transaction volume, this is critical for payroll and expense planning. Nora can also alert you if a payout is delayed beyond PayPal's normal window, which can indicate a hold or dispute affecting your account. Teams use this to forecast available cash and to catch a held payout or account issue the day it happens.
Runs weekly on monday at 8 am using PayPal, run by your Finance Manager.
