Sep 18, 2023FAQ: Timing of payout to ISVs dependent on customer payment
Q: What is the payment schedule for Microsoft paying ISVs? Is it dependent on when customers pay their invoices?
A: Payout schedules and processes - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
Microsoft pays the ISV every month, even when the customer hasn't paid Microsoft.
If the ISV's customer has a quarterly invoice payment terms specified in their EA contract, Microsoft will still pay the ISV monthly.

- JLTryFormer EmployeeI was just talking about this to a few Partners, it appears that the payout timing has gone to 3 months where previously it was 4, is that correct?
Any plans or opportunity to make this turnaround happen faster?
-JL- kyle-callahanIron ContributorThe documentation Justin shared should have all the latest correct information. It can be anywhere from Month 2 to Month 4 when payouts are processed to Marketplace sellers. Depends on the type of customer, their unique agreement with Microsoft, and type of solution being transacted.
