Missing Payment

Hi there, 

 

There is an issue with a payment. A customer of ours Card (Debit/Interac) Declined. He transferred money to his account, and the card just constantly declined. He then showed us a statement of his account, and it does indeed show that Square took an amount exactly what it should have been. However, our invoice still says Unpaid, and no payment has been registered

Hi there, @successstarts 👋 Thanks so much for reaching out to us here on the Seller Community!

 

Sorry for the confusion here - I think we can clarify a bit. This kind of temporary authorization is something that we see often - especially with customers using debit cards. If an attempt at a transaction is unsuccessful, a temporary authorization will process on the customers statement but will not actually post to the account due to the transaction not going through.

While these authorizations tend to fall off of a statement in 24 to 48 hours, your customer can have them removed more quickly by reaching out to their card-issuing bank.

 

Let us know if you have any follow-up questions!

Thanks for this clarification. On a Saturday, when the banks are closed, how can I assure my customer that this is a 'temporary authorization' and that the charge will not go through. The amount should have been 31.00 and went through as $310.00 however we pressed cancel and the charge is NOT showing up in my Transactions for the day.

Unfortunately, there wont be any formal confirmation for your customer on this issue until they can speak directly to their bank. They will most likely need to wait until Monday to reach out and have the authorization cleared, @Mp6.

This has not solved my issue with the customer,  because charges has not fallen off, as she was charged 3 times for the same invoice!

But the invoice still reads unpaid!

What am I supposed to do with this issue?

Hi @Miabatt7 - I'm sorry to hear that this issue with these payments has brought you to the Seller Community.

 

I can certainly provide some general information on why a payment may have failed, but we won't be able to pinpoint what's happened without looking at your account and transactions with you, which we aren't able to do via the Seller Community. 

For this type of issue, I suggest that you get in touch with our Support Team. If you haven't already, please reach out to Support directly by logging into your Square account and heading here.

Hi @Master_cosmo - Welcome to the community.

 

I am more than happy to assist you with getting the funds that you've collected through Square into your account. Once you have an active Square Debit Card your balance will automatically be available on the card. 

If for any reason you decide you want funds transferred into your bank account instead, please follow these steps in this Response from @lucym 🙂 

 

Let me know if this helps.
