How Do I Verify Orders Paid with Sezzle?
Once an order is sent to Sezzle for payment, it will then update within the Store Manager to move to the status specified in the Processing Status on the payment method. At this point, you will need to verify that the payment has been received and it has been completed. To do so, you have the ability to verify a payment directly within the Store Manager to make the process seamless through our platform. To do so:
Access the order's information (found under Orders -> Manage Orders)
Click on the Actions button at the top
Select Verify Sezzle
If payment information is found on Sezzle's end, you will see a confirmation and the order will automatically pull the payment information and move it to the New status
In the event no payment is found on Sezzle's system, it will return a message notifying you. At this point, you can choose to update or cancel the order as necessary.
