If you received an online payment in your HoneyBook account, but have yet to receive it in your bank account, you can check a few things:
Bank details: Confirm your bank and business owner details have been added to your account
If your client makes a payment before you connect your bank account to HoneyBook, the funds will securely sit with HoneyBook until you add your bank details and they’re verified. Once this happens, your funds will start making their way to the account you connected.
Timing of funds being transferred: Review to see if the payment is within the normal timeframe or if the estimated deposit date listed has passed.*
Re-verification: You may need to re-verify your bank details. You will receive an email notice and see an error on your bank details page if there is an issue with verification.
Bank holidays: Any payment that processes standardly during a bank holiday may be delayed up to 1 business day.
Restricted businesses: Any company that’s identified as a restricted business—one that violates our Terms of Service, or the terms of bank, card network, or other payment processing technologies’ agreements—is unable to use the HoneyBook platform
HoneyBook complies with Stripe’s prohibited and restricted business list. You can find a complete list of these business types.
In order to operate as a payment processing platform, HoneyBook regularly monitors transactions. If your business is flagged as potentially restricted, we may reach out to the email address associated with your HoneyBook account requesting additional identifying information.
Regardless of when an identification occurs, restricted businesses can’t use the HoneyBook platform
If your account details are correct and the estimated deposit date has passed but your payment still hasn't arrived, contact our Support team by clicking the Question Mark icon on any page and chatting in "Talk to a person."
You can also review the estimated deposit date of any payment on the “Payments” page of your Bookkeeping tool or in the client progress view of the sent invoice. Furthermore, you can use the “Payments” page to review all your payments in the same place.
📚 Tip
If a client makes a payment via ACH bank transfer, that payment will need to fully process (with the payment status moving from Pending to Paid in HoneyBook) before a subsequent payment can be made.
