## Payouts

Since Ideal Payment is integrated into Payrexx as an [external payment provider](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/external-payment-provider), payouts are not processed by Payrexx but directly by Ideal Payment.

Most transactions are paid out to merchants in real time – immediately after the customer completes the payment. The remaining balance is settled according to the contractually agreed settlement period, starting from the invoice date (varying by merchant).

On average, it takes around 15 days for the merchant to receive the full amount.
