This article is designed to help you navigate your payout schedule and review the different options Boulevard offers for receiving payouts. From managing deposits to understanding your credit card fees, this article covers everything you need to know about your payment processing options.
To access your payout schedule, go to Manage Business or Manage Location > Payments.
Note: Independent contractors or staff members with their own merchant accounts can access this page from My Settings > Merchant.
Overview
This is your landing page, giving you a snapshot of your available funds, your most recent payouts, and your most recent transactions on one page.
Payouts
Select the Payouts tab for the full picture of your payout activity:
Instant Payout — shows your available funds and a Payout Now button.
Next Payout — the amount currently queued for your next scheduled payout.
Offset Savings (if Boulevard Offset is enabled) — cumulative credit card processing fees covered by clients at checkout since enrollment.
The Payouts table below lists every payout you've received.
Reconciling a Payout
Click into any payout to open its detail page.
Payout Summary breaks down exactly what made up that deposit — Charges, Refunds, Adjustments, and Instant Payouts.
Transfer Details shows your transfer method, destination account, payout descriptor, and confirmation number.
Under Transactions, you'll find a list of every transaction tied to that payout so you can understand why it landed at that amount.
For the full walkthrough, see Understanding Payout Reconciliation Reporting.
Payout Options
Boulevard offers two payout options: Two-Business-Day Payouts (default) and Instant Payouts.
Two-Business-Day Payouts
By default, Boulevard processes payouts on a two–business–day schedule, Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and federal bank holidays (e.g., Labor Day).
Example: Transactions processed on Monday prior to the 11:00 PM ET close-of-day time are deposited into your bank account on Wednesday, minus applicable payment processing fees.
On the Overview tab, select Payout Schedule from the Payouts card to see the configured payout timing for each day of the week, your close-of-day (batch cutoff) time, and an estimated deposit date.
Instant Payouts
The Instant Payout card displays the amount of funds available for payout, and allow you to initiate a manual payout to receive those funds within minutes.
Note: Instant payouts include a 1.75% convenience fee, on top of standard credit card processing fees.
To initiate an instant payout:
Check the amount of funds currently eligible in the Instant Payouts card.
Select Payout Now and enter the desired transfer amount.
Confirm the amount and click Transfer.
Funds should reach your bank account within a few minutes.
Important Notes:
The available balance for instant payouts is calculated based on the sum of your transactions before they settle. Once settled, those transactions are deposited based on your payout schedule.
Instant Payouts requires a bank account at a financial institution that participates in either the FedNow or RTP network. If your current bank is not eligible at this time, you’ll need to update it to a supported bank account. You can check participating institutions for both networks here: FedNow participants and RTP participants.
Daily & Monthly Activity Reports
Daily & Monthly Activity
The Daily and Monthly Activity reports show transaction-level activity for a specific day or month — successful charges, refunds, and the fees within that window. Both reports can be downloaded as CSV files.
For reconciling a specific payout to your bank deposit, use Payout Reconciliation Reporting. Daily and Monthly Activity are the right reports for reviewing activity within a period, but they aren't built to explain why a specific deposit landed at a specific amount.
The Daily Activity tab shows all transactions for a single day, including any refunds issued. Click Download CSV to generate a report for a specific date.
The Monthly Activity tab provides a comprehensive view of all daily transactions within a selected month, exportable at any time during or after the month.
Within Monthly Activity, you can also access Transaction and Adjustment details, which vary by fee type:
Fixed Flat
Transactions: sale and fee info per month; Gateway Fee shows total fees (up to 2 days to populate); Interchange Fee is always 0.
Adjustments: chargeback fees from the previous month, generated on the 10th and debited separately.
Interchange Plus
Transactions: shows both Interchange Fee and Gateway Fee per transaction (up to 2 days to populate).
Adjustments: chargeback fees plus card network/assessment fees, generated on the 10th and debited separately.
Important Reminders:
Deposit times are approximate
Depending on the amount, your bank may hold the deposit for an extra day
National holidays extend the length of time between transactions and deposits
Credit Card Fees
Card processing fees can be viewed in several places, depending on the level of detail you need:
Payouts tab: Click into any payout to open its detail page. The Payout Summary breaks out Fees alongside Amount and Payout amount for each activity type (Charges, Refunds, Adjustments, Instant Payouts) — useful for seeing total fees deducted from one specific payout.
Transactions tab: Click into any individual transaction to see the fees for that specific charge, including how any Boulevard Offset surcharge applied. Useful when you need fee detail at the transaction level rather than the payout level.
Daily or Monthly Activity: Download the CSV for the desired day or month; look for the Gateway Fees or Interchange Fees line items.
In the Reports tab, access the Sales Summary Dashboard and review the Merchant Card Payments widget to see card revenue by merchant account, after fees are removed. If your location uses multiple merchant accounts, each is shown separately.
Offset Fees
If you have Boulevard Offset enabled, clients share the cost of credit card processing at checkout, lowering your effective rate to approximately 1%. You can see Offset fee details in two places:
Payouts tab — Offset Savings card: Shows your cumulative processing fees covered by clients since enrollment, with breakdowns for the last 6 months and last 30 days. This is the place to check your total savings from having Offset enabled.
Transactions tab: Click into any individual transaction to see its Offset Summary — the net processing fee, how much the client paid, and what was ultimately deposited for that sale.
