Split Settlement Validation

1. A Charge is posted with Split Instruction

   • A charge is processed
   • The charge is _authorized _but not yet settled (settlement occurs later via batching).
   • The charge, along with its split instruction, is recorded in the Merchant’s Events & Logs:
   
   
   

2. Charge Settlement (Batch Processing)

   • A charge must settle before any split instructions can be processed.
   • At this stage, the split status will appear as "pending".
   • Settlement typically occurs during the nightly batch process, usually on the day following the initial transaction.

3. Split Processing Begins
   • Once charges are settled, the system prepares split instructions for processing.
   • This typically occurs about one hour before the funding window opens.
   • The split is scheduled.
   
   
4. Funding Window Opens
   • Payarc’s instructional funding window opens daily.
   • The system executes split instructions for all settled charges.
   • The split status updates to "complete" once processing finishes.
   • A "complete" status indicates that funds are ready for disbursement.
   
   
5. Funds Deposited to Payee’s Bank Account
   • Once the split is "complete", funds are deposited to the payee’s bank account—typically on the same day, depending on ACH cutoff times.
