When Payhip pays a Canadian digital seller

Last checked: 2026-09-28

Gumroad, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy each publish a payout floor and a hold. Payhip’s “Missing Payment or Payout” help article, last updated 1 May 2026 and fetched 28 September 2026, is a different clock: Payhip does not hold the sale and then pay you later. This page names that article. It does not reprint Polar’s or Lemon Squeezy’s floors, hold days, or payout calendars, and it does not copy any support email from the Payhip article. It is not tax, legal, or accounting advice. Recheck help.payhip.com/article/374-missing-payment-or-payout before you open an account.

The sale is sent at purchase, to your processor

Payhip’s missing-payment article: when a sale is made on Payhip, the payment is processed and sent directly to your connected payment processor at the time of purchase. If you cannot find a payment or payout, the article says the funds are usually in your connected payment processor, still pending, or credited to a different account than expected. Payhip names Stripe and PayPal as examples of those connected processors. Payhip shows which payment methods are linked, but does not display full processor account details. This page does not quote a Payhip percentage. Payhip’s pricing page was not fetched this run.

Pending funds are the processor’s hold, not a Payhip floor

The same article: payment processors will occasionally hold a transaction and mark it as pending, on hold, or processing, which means the funds will not be available until the payment works its way through. You check that status in the processor account. A long pending status is a processor question, not a Payhip payout calendar. Payhip will not grant the buyer access to the purchase until the payment has been fully confirmed on Payhip’s end. Payments are routed to whichever account was connected at the exact moment a purchase was made; a later reconnect does not move an already-completed sale. The article also says the net credit can be lower than the sale price because platform and processor fees may apply; this guide does not reprint those fees.

This is not Polar’s or Lemon Squeezy’s payout-floor clock

Polar and Lemon Squeezy publish their own payout floors and hold calendars. Those figures stay on those official pages. Payhip’s article does not publish a Payhip-side dollar floor or a twice-monthly Payhip payout calendar. The money still has to clear Stripe or PayPal after it leaves Payhip. Recheck those official pages.

KeepCAD 2026 maps Payhip’s at-purchase deposit against Polar, Lemon Squeezy, and Stripe Payment Links, including who is the merchant. The sales page keeps one Discover versus Stripe teaser. The rest of the tape is in the zip.
