Batch settlement is the daily step that turns approved card sales into money headed for your bank.
Throughout the day, card sales are approved and held. At a set time, or when you close, they are grouped into a batch and sent to the processor for settlement. After that, the funds are sent to your bank on the funding schedule.
Understanding the batch explains most questions about timing, tips and refunds, because many actions are only simple while the batch is still open.

A shop closes at 9 p.m. but its batch cutoff is earlier. Sales after the cutoff go into the next batch, which explains why Friday night totals show up on Monday.
This comes up for almost every owner at some point. Most of the stress is not the problem itself but not knowing the next step, so having the steps written down before you need them is the real fix. Print the steps, put them where your team can see them and rehearse them once.
