How Upfront Payments works for Venues

Updated this week

With our upgraded Upfront Payments experience, payment is captured securely when you place your order—but you can still make changes up until the invoice due date. This guide explains how it works, and how adjustments or refunds are handled.

🛒 How Upfront Payments V2 works

As soon as you place your order, Ordermentum takes payment up front. This means:

  • We debit your card for the full order amount

  • You can still adjust the order before the invoice is finalised (Invoice Due Date)

  • Any changes (increased or reduced order value) are charged or refunded automatically

It’s a smoother, clearer way to pay—especially when orders change after they’re placed.


🔍 How to view your charges

Want to see a breakdown of what you’ve been charged—including upfront payments and any adjustments?

Here’s how:

  1. Open the Ordermentum app or website

  2. Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top left corner

  3. Select “Pay”

You’ll see a list of all your recent payments here. Each transaction is clearly linked to its own invoice number, so it’s easy to track what you were charged for—and why.


⏳ What does "Scheduled" mean?

After payment is captured, the invoice status will show in your pay tab as "Scheduled". You’ll see this between when the payment is taken and when the invoice reaches its due date.


💸 Why are there multiple charges or refunds on my account?

If your order changes after payment—for example, if more items are added or removed—you’ll see multiple transactions:

  • Extra charges if your order value goes up

  • Refunds if your order value goes down

Each transaction is matched directly to the related invoice, so you’ll always know what each charge or refund was for.


✏️ Can I still edit my order after paying?

Absolutely! Even though we’ve taken payment up front, your invoice remains editable until the due date.

Any changes you make will adjust the payment amount, and we’ll automatically handle the difference—either charging more or refunding the extra.

Need help making changes? Reach out and we’ll guide you through it.


💰 Will I be refunded if my order is reduced?

Yes. If your order value decreases before the invoice due date—either by your edits or changes made by the Supplier—you’ll automatically be refunded the difference.

You don’t need to take any action. The refund will be applied on the invoice due date and clearly linked to the order.
