Process overpaid instalment orders

When the collected amount is more than the order value

BillPro marks an instalment order Review when it needs you to check it:

  • Overpaid: the amount collected is more than the order value.
  • Underpaid: every billing event was processed, but less than the order value was collected. This can happen if you rescheduled a billing event for a lower amount.

Check these orders quickly to avoid chargebacks. BillPro keeps collecting any scheduled billing events on a Review order.

To list them, open Orders, click Filters, select Status › Review, and click Apply. Review orders have an orange eye icon.

Review orders in the order portal

A Review order shows as Complete in the order portal, so the customer may think they've finished paying. BillPro still collects any scheduled billing events, even on an overpaid order. Resolve these orders as described below.
