When dropshipping, it’s common to encounter issues that prevent orders from being fulfilled. One such issue is Payment Timeout, which occurs when an order isn’t paid within the allowed timeframe by the supplier. This guide explains why it happens and how you can quickly fix it using Zopi so you can get back to fulfilling orders without losing sales.
What is a Payment Timeout Order?
A Payment Timeout order happens when:
- A customer places an order in your store.
- Zopi attempts to process the payment with the supplier.
- The payment isn’t completed within the supplier’s allowed timeframe.
When this occurs, Zopi automatically cancels the order to prevent overselling.
