How to Resolve a Delayed Transaction

When a transaction has already been scheduled and your company balance is insufficient at the time of disbursement, your transaction will not proceed and the transaction state will be changed to “Payment Delayed”. You can view transactions with a 'Payment Delayed' status in three ways:

  • Dashboard: Check the 'Delayed Payment' section on your dashboard for a summary of delayed payments. Click to view the full list. This page is accessible only by Business Owner and Admin.

  • TransactionsFilter the status and choose 'Payment Delayed' to see these transactions.

  • Task: See ‘Delayed Payment’ section in the 'Task' page.


When your payment is delayed, users with roles such as Business Owner or Admin, or Releaser can easily do immediate actions. Here are the available options:

  • Pay Now: Choose this option when you wish to promptly settle delayed transactions. Please ensure that your company balance is sufficient for this action. You can apply this to individual transactions or in bulk.

  • Reschedule: You have the flexibility to reschedule a transaction to a new specific date and time or align it with a payment cycle established by the Business Owner or Admin. This can be done for individual transactions or in bulk. However, please note that when rescheduling in bulk, you can only reschedule to a specific date and time.

  • Cancel: If a scheduled transaction is delayed and the payment is pending, you still have the capability to cancel it. You can do it for individual transactions only. Special case for cancellation, Drafters of that transaction can also do it.
