Pending Holds Appearing

Topic summary

Unexpected pending holds are appearing on customers’ bank accounts well after orders were processed and payments completed for Shopify stores. The issue raised is that a completed purchase later shows a new “pending hold” on the customer’s bank statement.

Example provided: a purchase paid on 11/14/25 shows a new pending hold on 12/02/25, despite the original payment being completed.

Focus: Troubleshooting whether this is an isolated case or affecting other merchants’ customers, and at what frequency.

Status: Inquiry seeking confirmation from other stores; no identified cause, actions, or resolutions shared yet. Discussion remains open with unanswered questions about scope and root cause.

Are any other stores having issues reported by customers that are seeing pending holds added to their bank accounts a month after orders that processed and payment completed?

Example: Purchase paid 11/14/25 and on 12/02/25 then pending hold is showing up on their bank account again?
