Authorize.net settlement delay is not NMI settlement delay
Line up settle day against capture day on one Authorize.net settle cut. Settle − capture is delay days. Keep settled txs in the cut so the clock is real.
Pair: Settlement-delay days on Payments. Other gateway: NMI settlement-delay. Reject twin: settlement-reject share.
What you type
Capture day — Day index when Authorize.net captured those settled txs.
Settle day — Day index when those txs landed in settle.
Settled txs — Transactions that settled in that same Authorize.net cut.
Delay days = settle day − capture day. When delay days run fat, chase Auth.net batch cutoffs — never invent a delay chip.
What not to do
Never invent delay days. Never paste an NMI or Braintree settle file into Auth.net fields. Never treat settlement rejects as delay days. Never blend MIDs when one seat owns the lag.

FAQ
- Is this NMI settlement-delay days?
- Different gateway export. [Settlement-delay days](/manuals/nmi-settlement-delay-days) reads NMI settled txs. Here you line up Authorize.net settle day against capture day.
- Is this settlement-reject share?
- Sibling Auth.net batch grain. [Settlement-reject share](/manuals/authorize-net-settlement-reject-share) is rejected batches. This page is the capture-to-settle clock on settled txs.
- What delay days should I invent?
- None. Line up settle day, capture day, and settled txs from the same Authorize.net settle cut.
