Transaction is failed, when will client get their funds back
Last updated: June 4, 2026
When a transaction shows as failed on the merchant dashboard and your client is awaiting funds, the following steps can help:
Automatic Refunds:
In most cases, the client will receive their funds back automatically within 1–3 business days.
Check for Unmatched Deposits:
Navigate to the Deposits tab on the merchant dashboard.
If the client sent funds via a manual transfer and provided incorrect details or references, then the payment should have landed here.
Click on the transaction to refund the payment directly to the client.
Enable Auto-Return for Unmatched Deposits:
To simplify future handling, you can enable automatic returns for unmatched deposits:
Go to Settings → Payments in the dashboard
Enable “Auto return unmatched deposits”
This ensures clients receive their funds quickly, even when manual transfers contain errors.
