Both C&H Financial and SafeSave Gateways* have a default Settlement Schedule of 8:00pm. This time is the 'cut off' for same day processing, and any electronic payment transmitted after 8:00pm will process (or settle) the following day. Jackrabbit recommends that you confirm your time zone and update your Settlement Schedule time to 11:30pm (latest time available) in your Virtual Terminal.
Jackrabbit's reporting time frame ends at midnight daily (based on your time zone). Adjusting your Settlement Schedule to as late in the day as possible will ensure a better match between your Jackrabbit revenue reports and the merchant processing statement. This is crucial when trying to reconcile your bank account, a Jackrabbit Best Practice recommendation.
