If the currency you’re transferring does not match the default currency on PayPal, you’ll need to log in to PayPal and accept the transfer manually.

You have 30 days to accept before the transfer amount is returned to the Pay Portal.

Does my Pay Portal email need to match the one saved on PayPal?

Yes. To successfully process and receive a transfer, the email on your Pay Portal needs to be the same one registered with PayPal.

PayPal will send instructions on how to create a new account on their platform and claim the funds if a transfer is processed using an email that isn’t registered in their system.

If you’re already registered with PayPal with an email that doesn’t match the one saved on the Pay Portal, do one of the following:

Add your Pay Portal email to PayPal

  1. Log in to PayPal and click the gear icon at the top of the page.
  2. Click (+) in the Email Address section.
  3. Enter the email registered on the Pay Portal. Your PayPal can support up to 7 email addresses.
  4. PayPal will send a confirmation email to this address. Click Confirm Your Email when you receive the notification.

Change the email on your Pay Portal to match the one saved on PayPal

  1. Log in to the Pay Portal.
  2. Click Settings > Preferences
  3. On the Notifications tab, enter the new email address and your Pay Portal password.
  4. Click Confirm

If you’re unable to update the Pay Portal email address on the Notifications tab, contact FastSpring directly for assistance.

IMPORTANT: Updating the email on the Pay Portal Notifications tab will not automatically update the email linked to a previously saved PayPal transfer method.

To complete the process, follow these steps:

  1. Click Transfer to return to the Transfer Center.
  2. Click Action > Remove next to the existing PayPal transfer method.
  3. Confirm the details then click Remove this Account
  4. Return to the Transfer Center and click Add New Transfer Method
  5. Follow the prompts to re-add the PayPal transfer method using the updated email.

Tracking Your Payment/Transfers

What do the payment status descriptions refer to?

Payments and transfers go through various stages while being processed. Updates are noted on your Pay Portal to keep you apprised of your funds and when you can expect them.

What is a Receipt ID?
The Receipt ID is a record of the transaction which can be referenced when contacting customer support.
Where can I find my destination bank account or debit card number?
  1. Log in to your Pay Portal.
  2. Click History
  3. Click on the transaction description to view the details.

Note: For security reasons, only the last four digits of your account information will be displayed.

It is past the estimated deposit date. Why haven't I received my funds?

Our goal is to send your funds to you as quickly as possible. However, once the transfer has cleared our systems, processing times can vary according to the receiving bank and any intermediary financial institutions involved in the transaction. Depending on your country and region, some transfers may take longer than others to be received.

Why am I getting multiple emails?
If you have initiated multiple transfers from your Pay Portal, you will receive separate cash out notifications for each transfer.
My payment amount is different than I anticipated. Why?
When a payment is initiated, the amount transferred from your Pay Portal will be deducted, along with a transfer fee (if applicable). In the case of wire transfers, the recipient bank may impose processing fees which will be deducted from your balance.
