When stores pay
Why there's a delay between a stream and the statement that contains it.
Updated
Stores pay distributors after the end of each month, once they have finished their own accounting. Most report one to three months after the usage, and the timing differs by store.
That’s why revenue for a given stream usually appears on a statement two to three months later. Daily trends shows streams much sooner — use it to follow a release, and statements to follow money.
