If you’re planning to create a Shopify website then you’ll want to know how to get paid. Here’s how to set up payment information with your bank.

Start at the Shopify Dashboard

1. From the Shopify dashboard, in the bottom left corner, there’s a link that says “Settings“. Click on this to go to your Settings page.
2. From the menu list on the left you’ll click on “Payments“.
3. After that click the button at the top that says “Manage“.
4. Scroll down the page until you see a heading that says “Payouts“.
5. Here’s where you’ll add your business information as well as your banking information. They’ll ask for your account, branch and transit number. If you’ve ever setup direct deposit you’ll be familiar with how to do it. If not, here’s a link to TD bank’s version of how to access direct deposit info.
6. Once you’ve added your business info click the button at the top of the page that says “Save“.
7. Wait for confirmation.

Once the info has been submitted there’s a waiting period for the bank to confirm your submission. They likely will come back to you in a few days asking for more proof of your identity. Most likely they’ll ask you to upload a photo of your driver’s license. Once you’ve done that it’s just a matter of time before payments can be taken.

That’s it for setting up payments to your bank. Be sure to check out more of our articles on how to work with Shopify.
