The Payout Details page includes a 'Balance Carried Forward'. What is that?
The 'Balance Carried Forward' on the Payout Details page represents any funds from a previous payout cycle that were not included in that payout, often due to timing issues. This can happen for several reasons:
- Unsettled funds: Sometimes, payments or adjustments may not fully settle before the payout is processed. In such cases, these unsettled amounts are carried forward to the next payout period.
- Negative balances: If the account had a negative balance due to refunds, disputes, or other adjustments, that balance may carry forward until sufficient positive funds are available to offset it.
