How Do I Follow Up Automatically on Orders Waiting for Payment?
You follow up automatically by giving each unpaid order a status and a timer, so a reminder goes out if payment has not arrived after a set number of hours or days. On Jestor, this runs through automation tied to the order status and its creation date.
Unpaid orders are easy to forget because they sit quietly in a list, and every day without a reminder lowers the chance that the customer completes the purchase.
What forgotten unpaid orders cost
- Sales lost because nobody reminded the customer
- Stock held for orders that will never be paid
- Hours spent scanning a list for orders still pending
- Inconsistent follow-up depending on who is on shift
How automatic payment follow-up works
- Orders in an awaiting payment status start a countdown
- A reminder goes out through WhatsApp or email after the chosen time
- A second reminder can follow before the order is cancelled
- A dashboard lists every unpaid order and how long it has waited
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Timed reminders recover sales that would quietly expire
- Cancelling stale orders frees up held stock on a schedule
- The team stops hunting through lists for pending payments
- This scales from a few orders to hundreds per day
