Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Settlement Routing.

How many accounts can I split payments to?

There's no limit to the number of accounts you can configure for a merchant. You can add as many bank accounts as needed and create complex split rules across all of them.

Can I combine percentage and fixed amount splits?

Yes, you can create hybrid rules that combine both percentage-based and fixed amount splits in the same configuration. Fixed amounts are deducted first, then percentages are applied to the remaining balance.

When do split settlements get processed?

All split accounts receive their funds in the same settlement cycle. Whether you're on T+1 or T+2 settlement, all parties receive their share simultaneously.

Can I change split rules after configuration?

Yes, you can update split rules at any time through the dashboard or API. Changes take effect immediately for all future transactions. Historical transactions remain unaffected.

How are refunds handled with split settlements?

When a refund is processed, the system automatically calculates and reverses the split amounts from each account proportionally, ensuring accurate reconciliation across all parties.
