Unpaid Orders

Overview

Unpaid Orders in Sellercloud refer to purchases that are pending payment from customers and typically must be cleared before an order can be shipped. However, in some cases, you may want to ship an order prior to receiving payment for it. For example, you may want to allow unpaid wholesale orders to be shipped based on the customer’s credit terms. Effectively managing such orders is vital for ensuring a smooth order fulfillment process.

You have the option to control which orders are brought into Shipbridge for processing. By default, unpaid orders are excluded, but you can customize your settings to allow selected unpaid orders to be shipped, either based on customer preferences or specific order criteria.
