Cash flow timing plays a major role in how quickly Amazon sellers can grow. Delayed payouts often slow inventory replenishment, ad scaling, and supplier payments.
Amazon’s Express Payout feature addresses this issue by enabling eligible US sellers to receive payouts within 24 hours, including weekends.

What Is Amazon Express Payout?
Express Payout is a payout option available to eligible Amazon sellers using Amazon Pay.
Instead of waiting for ACH processing:
- Funds arrive within 24 hours
- Works through Amazon Pay’s banking network
- Applies to payouts under $1M
- Optional and easy to manage inside Seller Central
As of now, Express Payout is free, though Amazon has indicated a possible future fee of $0.50 per transaction.
Why Faster Payouts Matter for Sellers
Faster access to funds can:
- Improve inventory turnover
- Reduce reliance on short-term financing
- Enable quicker ad budget adjustments
- Strengthen supplier relationships
- Improve financial forecasting
For high-velocity sellers, payout timing can directly influence revenue growth.
Best Practices for Using Express Payout
