Instant Payouts with delivery partners
About Instant Payouts
Instant Payouts provide immediate access to your earnings from orders fulfilled with delivery partners. Once an order is placed, Square will deposit your estimated net earnings into your Square Checking account balance. Because your payout rate is estimated based on your historical payouts and orders, your rate may not be consistent for every order and will be adjusted over time. Instant Payouts is currently only available with DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Before you begin
Before you can use and receive Instant Payouts, you must meet all of the following requirements:
Integrate your Square account with a delivery partner to fulfill orders and use instant payouts. Learn how to Integrate delivery and pickup apps with Square for Restaurants.
Have a Square Checking account
Have set up a DoorDash or UberEats integration and receive orders through it
Receive your DoorDash or UberEats payouts into your Square Checking account
Instant Payouts is not the same feature as Instant Transfers. Learn how to set up and edit transfer options.
While using Instant Payouts, your deposits will be paused if you stop meeting any of these requirements. If you lose access, your next deposit may still be applied toward Instant Payouts. After that, you will receive your deposits as standard per your delivery partner’s payout schedule. Learn how to Review your Instant Payouts deposits.
Set up Instant Payouts
Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Orders > Instant payouts.
Click Get Started > Set up Instant Payouts.
Choose a delivery partner and complete the checklist.
Once complete, you will see an Active icon next to the delivery partner.
Cancel Instant Payouts
If you want to stop using Instant Payouts, contact us at instant-payouts@squareup.com. If Instant Payouts are canceled, we will stop funding your orders. If there are earnings that Square has already pre-funded but haven’t been paid yet, we will use your next deposit(s) to cover the remaining amount. After that, you will go back to your regular payout schedule per your delivery platform.
