Cancel/Archive unpaid orders after X amount of days

[goldemmemories]

Hi, my orders for some reason doesn't get cancelled automatic. Their status keep "Pending payment" for ever.

I want to cancel orders that has the "not authorized" status and orders that have "pending payment" status after 5 days or something.

I couldn't do it myself, so I`d like some help if possible. Thanks in advance.

I don't understand the context. Why would your orders get cancelled automatically? 

[goldemmemories]

Not paid orders should be cancelled. mine doesn't cancel unpaid orders. they stay "pending" increasing my revenue.

What is "Mine" referring to? Shopify? If you are building an automation, it helps to be very specific or your might build the wrong thing.

Roughly speaking, if you want to do something after 5 days, you could do Order created -> Wait 5 days -> if unauthorized and unpaid -> Cancel. 

You could also do something like:
Every day -> get order data (unpaid, older than 5 days, unauthorized) -> for each order -> cancel

Hey @goldemmemories ,

I have an even better idea! Before cancelling your pending orders you should definitely try to recover them by sending effective payment reminders. This way you could recover revenue. Kindly - Payment Reminder would do that for you as well as cancel them after x days if they won't get recovered. We do offer a 21-day free trial. No credit card needed.
