FAQs

A guest says they paid but it shows Started. Look the payment up in the provider's dashboard with the guest's details. When the provider confirms it later, it changes to Paid by itself.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
Failed: "The amount paid does not match." The provider reported a different amount. Check the payment in the provider's dashboard and refund it there if needed.
