They can check the process log to see failed records and the reasons for failure.


While there is no batch process for settling offline payments, outstanding invoices for all orders placed using cash, check and wire transfer can be settled by navigating to the ‘Create Payments’ menu in the Manager Panel. The shopper can also settle such pending invoices from his self-service account and make a single payment against them, or pay an individual invoice partially. Invoices are available real time in the shopper’s account.
