Payout
The funds for all transactions processed for you by BlueSnap are sent to you via the payout payment method you set up in our Merchant Portal. The payout you receive for a given period will be a calculation of your sales, minus any costs such as transaction fees. BlueSnap allows you to include additional bank accounts for option to receive regional payouts, as required for certain countries.
Your payout will depend on the commercial terms of your agreement with BlueSnap. However, the default payout frequency is Daily +2 business days. BlueSnap can also potentially support multiple payout methods in 18 payout currencies. For the complete list, refer to the Like-for-like column in the Supported Currencies table. Note that fees vary by payment method. Refer to the Table of BlueSnap Fees under Settings > BlueSnap Agreement for details. You can also leverage the Payout Details Report for information about each payout, including sales, refunds, chargebacks, commissions, and more.

Regional Payouts
For compliance reasons related to Brexit, your deposits will potentially be split by processing region (e.g., EU, UK, US). This means you will receive one or more additional deposits than you might have traditionally come to expect. While you may receive multiple payout deposits, there will be no impact to your transaction processing. All transactions will continue to process through our global network of local acquiring banks using our Intelligent Payment Routing, helping you to increase sales and reduce costs.
When you are receiving multiple deposits it can get tricky to keep track of your payout. To address this, we have added a region
column to our reports. If you match your BlueSnap reports to your BlueSnap deposits, you will need to refer to the region
column to match your region to your deposit.
Note: You may see additional fees, such as bank fees charged by intermediary banks used to facilitate payment between our bank and your bank, or foreign exchange fees.
Reporting
BlueSnap has introduced region
as a selection criterion in reporting. If you are using multiple legal entities to process with BlueSnap, these report changes allow you to generate reports by your legal entity and match the deposits you receive from BlueSnap.
If you use the BlueSnap Merchant Portal for reporting, the reports will show region
as a new report criterion option, and your report results will contain region
