Past Due Payments

Payments can enter past due status for various reasons, including:

  • Failed credit card payment
  • Failed ACH payment
  • The payment is supposed to be paid by cash or check by the customer and it is past the due date
  • Failed SCA verifications

When a payment goes into a past due status, the customer will receive an email. If there was a credit card or ACH attached to the payment, the email will prompt them to update their payment method on file. If the customer updates the payment method, their past due payment will rerun automatically. If a manual payment method such as cash or check was attached to the payment, the email will not contain an “Update” option.

 

 

Customers will receive this past due payment email every 3 days until credit is applied to the past due payment or the customer updates the payment method. Additionally, customers will not be able to access the member app if they have past due payments on file connected with a credit card or ACH. Customers will be prompted to update the payment method on file for these payments or rerun the payments as soon as they login and attempt to go to a category within the app.

 

 

Any failed payment attached to a credit card or ACH can be rerun either from the payments > payment history section, or from within a registration page’s payment history.

When a customer is paying for a past due amount that is attached to a manual payment type, you will have to apply the cash or check amount to the payment by clicking on the buyer name > drop down the “Past Due” tab > click on the past due payment > apply credit.

 

 

You will then enter the amount they are applying towards the past due payment and select what kind of payment method is being applied. If a customer is paying for more than one past due amount, these have to be applied separately.

 

 

Manual Credits

You can also choose to waive a past due payment by applying a manual credit. Manual credits are compensation given by the business to the customer, similar to a coupon, and does not count towards income statistics. To apply a manual credit, you will click on the buyer name in the past due list > drop down the “Past Due” tab > click on the past due payment > Apply credit.

 

 

You will then enter the amount they are crediting to the customer and select “Manual Credit” as the credit method.

 

 

Once a manual credit has been applied, the payment total will be displayed under the manual credit category in both the analytics and payment history sections.
