Received
Received is the initial status of all payments. It is the registration of a validated payment attempt. This is where we charge the gateway or processing fees for the transaction.

Authorised
The status changes to Authorised when the shopper's bank confirms that the shopper has the available funds in their account. At this point you can proceed with the delivery of goods and services.

SentForSettle
The status changes to SentForSettle when the request for transferring the funds has been sent to the shopper's bank. At this point it's no longer possible to cancel the payment, and you would need to refund it instead.

Settled
The status changes to Settled when the shopper's bank has transferred the funds to Adyen. The funds will be added to your next payable batch.

SentForRefund
SentForRefund means that the refund is on its way.

Refunded
Refunded means that the shopper has received their money. The funds will be deducted from your next payable batch.

To view a list of all disputes:

1. Go to Disputes.
2. Select Needs action in the drop-down menu above the disputes list, and select the dispute that you want to defend.

This opens a page where you can see which documentation is required, and upload the documentation.

Examples of defense documentation are:

- Copy of receipt.

- Shopper information + Device ID.

- Communication where the cardholder confirms possession of the goods.

- Proof that terms and conditions were clearly communicated to the cardholder before the transaction was processed.

You may decide to accept a dispute to avoid a lengthy (and possibly costly) dispute process, especially if you agree with the dispute.

The funds for all transactions that S-Pay processes for you are sent to your payout account. This is the bank account that you provided as your payout account during onboarding.

If you have multiple merchant accounts, you will get a separate payout for each merchant account, even if you are using the same payout account for all your merchant accounts.

The funds from one sales day are assigned to a payable batch. This payable batch is paid out to you with a payout delay of a fixed number of business days.

Sales day
The sales day for a transaction is the day when the request for transferring the funds has been sent to the shopper's bank. This is when the payment status becomes SentForSettle.

For payment methods that support separate authorisation and capture, sales day is the day when the payment was captured. For example, when using a capture delay of 24 hours, a payment that is authorised on Monday will have its sales day on Tuesday.

Payable batch
A payable batch corresponds to one payout to your bank account. The payable batch is made up from your sales figure, from which we subtract:

- Transaction costs.

- Refunds.

- Chargebacks.

- Other adjustments, for example if we already sent you the funds for a transaction, but could not receive these funds from the shopper's bank.

For the most up-to-date information about the current payable batch, check the Payouts section of S-Pay.

Refunds, chargebacks, and other adjustments are added to the payable batch as they occur, and are not related to the sales day of the original transaction.

For each payable batch that closes, we create a Settlement details report. The settlement details report report contains information about one payout to your bank account. This includes transactions that were credited or debited to your account, and the costs associated with these transactions.

Answer.

The payout delay determines how many days after the sales day SECUTIX will instruct the payout.

SECUTIX does not instruct payouts on weekends or bank holidays. This means there is no payout for a particular currency on days when there is a bank holiday in that currency's country.

After the payout day, it may take up to two days for the payout funds to arrive in your account. This depends on the currencies and banks involved.

If you have several merchant accounts, you may add a separate payout account for each merchant account.

To change a payout account, you need the Merchant manage bank accounts user role.

1. Log in to S-Pay.
2. Switch to the merchant account for which you want to change the payout account.
3. Go to Account settings.
4. Select Add payout account.
5. Enter your bank account number, and upload a proof of bank account.
6. Select Submit.

After our team has reviewed and approved your payout account details, you start receiving payouts on the new account.

If there is an issue with verifying the new bank account, you will keep receiving payouts in your existing bank account.

You can track the progress of your payout account review in your Account settings.

SECUTIX issues a monthly invoice that includes a full specification of the costs of payment processing.

You can get the invoice in the S-Pay dashboard. SECUTIX also sends the invoice to the email address of the signatory you chose during onboarding.

If you want to validate funds received in your bank account against the day of sale, you can do so by using the aggregate settlement details report.

This report contains an overview of funds settled to your bank account in a certain period. The payouts are summarised by Store, Payment method, the Day of sale, and Settlement batch.

Note that the aggregate settlement details report is not equal to the sales made in the month. If you want to review the sales made and the payouts for these sales, you'll need to adjust your report to:

1. Align with your payout delay, for example two business days.
2. Exclude payouts for sales made in the previous month, if any.
3. Include payouts from the next month that relate to sales in the current month.

The Aggregate settlement details report shows details of payout batches in a specific date range. You can use this report to validate funds received in your bank account against the day of sale. For each settlement batch, the report shows credits, debits, and counts of transactions for all payment journal type entries.

To generate and download the Aggregate settlement details report, you must have the Merchant report user role.

1. Log in to S-Pay.
2. Go to Finances, then select Aggregate settlement.
