By default, merchant accounts are set to automatic settlement. A settlement report is generated from successful transaction data from the previous 24-hour period (00:00 AM GMT+8 to 23:59 PM GMT+8) daily.
The automatic settlement must be disabled to activate manual settlement. Once enabled, you can generate a settlement by triggering an externally exposed API endpoint.
