Receiving money by Instant payout
- As soon as a customer completes an invoice payment, you’ll see the invoice payment transaction in your Wave Payments holding account in your accounting.
- Once you accept an Instant Payout for that payment, the funds are deposited in your Wave Money account, and an income transaction is created in accounting.
- Wave then automatically categorizes this transaction as transfer to your Wave Money account, and creates another transaction to represent the transfer from your Wave Payments account. These transactions represent the movement of funds between your Wave Payments holding account and your Wave Money account.
