Failed Fulfillment Payments: Why & How To Fix

Tradelle collects fulfillment charges from your configured payment method once daily. If a charge can't be collected, here's what happens and how to resolve it quickly.

What Happens When A Payment Fails

A manual payment link is sent to your account email.
Complete the payment through that link within 24 hours of the invoice being issued.
The affected orders remain on hold until payment succeeds. Processing and shipping follow after successful payment.

Unpaid invoices can lead to suspended access, and Tradelle reserves the right to charge interest on delayed payments. If something is wrong with a charge, don't let the deadline pass silently, contact support@tradelle.io right away.

Common Causes

Insufficient balance on the saved payment method
Expired or replaced card that was never updated in the dashboard
Bank blocking the charge (ask your bank whether recurring international charges are allowed)

How To Prevent It

Keep your payment method up to date: open your Profile menu at the top right > Payment Methods in the dashboard.
Make sure the payment method has enough balance to cover your expected daily order volume.
If you use SEPA: a fee of $8.50 applies when a SEPA payment fails or is charged back, and repeated chargebacks can lead to account termination. Keep the linked bank account funded.

Sales coming in faster than expected is a good problem, but it also means larger daily charges. If you're scaling ad spend, check that your card limits keep up.
