Confused About Amazon Express Payouts – When Do We Get Paid?

Hello Amazon sellers,

I wanted to see if anyone has information on how Amazon handles payouts for its sellers.

For context, I recently started selling on Amazon as an FBM seller, and things have been going really well. In just the past week, I’ve done $10K in sales. However, I haven’t seen any of that money yet. I’m starting to run low on inventory and funds—both for fulfilling current orders and for purchasing more stock—as I’m a small personal business/brand.

I set up Express Payout yesterday, and I’d love to hear about other sellers’ experiences with it.

I’m also wondering how the payment process works, will I only get paid after shipping an order. Do I need to wait until the customer receives the order before I get paid, even with Express Payout?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance—I look forward to reading your responses.
