Available balances for instant currency conversion
Instant currency conversion works with available balances. You can change from daily automatic payouts to manual payouts to make sure funds are available for instant currency conversion. If you want to keep your daily payout schedule, consider setting a minimum balance on your Payout settings page to make sure you have available funds for instant currency conversion.
Some available funds aren’t eligible for currency conversion. For example, funds from non-payment sources might have restrictions. We display which funds are available for instant conversion in each currency balance.
