Got my first order 2 weeks ago, says payment pending. She used Venmo and no payment has hit my venmo account yet.  This shopify store has become a night mare and about ready to move to WIX

Hi, @PetMeds!

 

Thank you for your post, I'm happy to look into this with you. 

 

Venmo is offered as a payment method on Shopify as a supported PayPal provider. This means any purchases made through Venmo will be paid out into your PayPal account. I recommend logging into your PayPal account to check the status of the payment, and you can contact PayPal directly if you have any further questions about this payout. 

 

I'm sorry to hear you've had a hard time setting up your Shopify store. Is there anything I can help you out with? We definitely don't want starting and running your store to be a negative experience, so I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. 

 

Take care!

Hey, @Clj15!

 

Thanks for reaching out. Was the payment made through Venmo, or a standard Shopify Payments payment using a credit card?

 

I recommend checking to see if you have any outstanding requests from Shopify regarding your Shopify Payments account (such as a request to upload ID to verify your identity). These can be found within the Shopify Payments section of your admin, or by clicking the bell icon in your admin to see your notifications.

 

I look forward to assisting you further!

Feel free to search for Shopify Payments in your email to locate it. If you still can't find where to upload your ID, you can contact our live support team and we can continue to help you out there!

Same issue and we do not have a Venmo or PayPal account and now our customer is upset saying they have paid but we’ve not received payment. No a good experience - did you ever get your money? Would love to know how.

Hi, @CircleP!

 

Thanks for jumping in. How did your customer pay for their order? Was it using Venmo on your store, or did they use a credit or debit card? You can find this information on the order timeline

 

I look forward to assisting you further!

I am not sure. It only says pending Venmo. But I do not have Venmo as an option and I didn’t have a PayPal account so not sure how he was able to select Venmo to begin with or how I can get my money. I’ve not shipped it yet because I have no way to confirm he’s actually paid.

Thanks for confirming that! 

 

PayPal is one of Shopify’s default payment providers. As soon as you open a store on our platform, you’re given a Paypal Express Checkout account using the email you signed up for Shopify with. You can follow the steps in this help document to finish setting up your PayPal account, and then you can log into PayPal to verify the payment was received. 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!
