How long do I have to pay for an order?

Guide to the 7-day payment window, automated order expiration, seller IBAN nudges, and unpaid order strikes.

Learn about order payment windows, automated reminders, and consequences of unpaid orders.

1 7-Day Payment Window & Auto-Cancellation

Buyers have 7 days to complete payment for an order. An hourly background job (marketplace:expire-unpaid-orders) automatically cancels unpaid orders past 7 days, setting payment status to failed and fulfillment status to cancelled.

2 Payment Reminders & Seller Nudge

  • Automated Reminders: System reminders are sent during the 12–24 hour window after order creation.
  • Seller Nudge for IBAN: Sellers can send one manual payment reminder to IBAN buyers after 50 hours (maximum 1 reminder per 24 hours via Order::canSendIbanPaymentReminder()).

3 Unpaid Order Strikes Policy

Accumulating 3 unpaid order strikes silently disables buying and bidding privileges. Active strike tallies are visible to administrators in the dispute room.
