Insufficient wallet funds at payment

What happens when funds are short and how to handle it.

When the system charges an order and the wallet is short, payment fails cleanly: the order stays unpaid, the row shows "Payment failed" (not enough wallet balance), and nothing is charged (no half-finished transaction is left behind).

1
See the shortfall

The confirmation box before you click Pay shows how much the wallet is short; the Wallet screen also shows "Min top-up" — the amount needed to pay all your unpaid orders.

2
Add funds

Follow "Add funds to your Wallet".

3
Orders pay automatically or click Pay again

If Auto-payment is on, unpaid orders are paid one by one once the top-up lands; otherwise click Pay again.

Not paid → not produced
An unpaid order is not put into production. A wallet that is negative past your credit limit also blocks items from entering production (negative within the limit is fine).

Frequently Asked Questions

I pay a batch of orders but the total is short?

Orders are paid one by one. At the first order the wallet cannot cover, the queue STOPS: that order and every remaining order in the batch are reported as not paid (even cheaper ones the wallet could still cover). Orders already paid are not reversed. Add funds, then pay the remaining orders again.
