FAQ: 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.

    I 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?

      The 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.
