Click the Pay Now button to open the payment window. 1. Click 'Pay Now' on the shipment page to open the payment window. 2. Review your total and choose a payment method β€” saved card or pay instantly by card or instant EFT. 3. Enter your card details or select an alternative payment method to complete your payment. If paying by card or instant EFT, you'll be taken to a secure payment screen where you can enter your card details or choose another method such as Scan to Pay, SnapScan, or Pay by Bank. #### πŸ’³ Payment options available: * **Saved card β€”** use a card you've previously saved to your account * **Card β€”** enter your card details at checkout * **Instant EFT with Ozow β€”** connects directly to your bank for immediate payment * **Scan to Pay / SnapScan β€”** scan a QR code to pay * **Account credit β€”** apply credits from your TUNL Credits 🏷 Labels and shipping documents are released immediately after payment is processed. πŸ’‘Shipments are never charged automatically β€” each shipment payment needs your approval at the time of booking. Your plan is the exception: it charges itself on its billing date. See Paying for your plan. *** ### 🧾 Settling Rebilling Invoices * Carrier adjustments and other invoices applied after shipping are settled in your Account section (Settings β†’ Account β†’ Billing). For monthly settlement merchants (part of the Scale plan), rebilling charges appear as line items within the relevant month's statement and are paid as part of it. * For pay-as-you-go merchants, rebilling invoices are due on the date of issue. * Open the statement (or the invoice) and click Pay now to settle. ||| ⚠️ Monthly statements have a settle-by date. If a statement isn't settled in time, booking pauses until the balance is cleared. For settle-by dates, EFT timing and what to do if your account is paused, see How Does Billing Work at TUNL? *** ### πŸ“Š Your Account & TUNL Credits Your Account section (Settings β†’ Account β†’ Billing) gives you a full view of what you owe, your statement history, and your TUNL Credits β€” all in one place. ###### πŸ‘€ What you'll see: * **Total statement charges due β€”** the amount payable now, across any due or overdue statements. Click Pay now to settle. * **Saved payment cards β€”** the cards on your account (you can save up to two). Add, update, or remove them here. Your shipments are only ever charged when you approve a payment. Your plan charges itself on its billing date β€” see [Paying for your plan](https://app.notion.com/p/Paying-for-your-plan-3f1971f17b4081bcac1bf4a0cd6daada?pvs=21). * **Statements list β€”** one row per month, with its status (Open, Due, Overdue, Paid), total charges, and outstanding amount. Click View to drill into a statement and see every shipment and transaction in it. Export any issued statement, or export them all. * **TUNL Credits β€”** your available credit balance, shown in the account info strip. Credits are added automatically when a paid shipment is cancelled or an insurance claim is approved, and you apply them yourself when paying. || πŸ’‘ Pay-as-you-go merchants see the same area without statements β€” just the total of unpaid shipments, since labels are held until each shipment is paid. ###### πŸ€” What happens when you cancel a shipment: If you cancel a paid shipment, the value is automatically added to your TUNL Credits. From there you have two options: * Use the credit toward a future shipment at checkout * Request a refund to your bank account β€” reach out to our support team and we'll guide you through the process. Please note that we'll require your bank confirmation letter to proceed with the refund. *** ### ✨ Credits & Cancellations When a paid shipment is cancelled, the value is added as a credit to your merchant TUNL Credits β€” no automatic refund is issued. * Credits sit separately from your outstanding balance * You choose when to apply them and how much to use * Partial credit application is supported β€” you don't have to use the full amount at once * Credits can be applied toward shipment payments or statement settlement ||| ⚠️ Credits are not automatically applied to your balance. You'll need to apply them manually when settling. *** ### πŸ’Έ Requesting a Payout or Refund If you have a credit balance and would prefer a payout back to your bank account, you can submit a request by reaching out to our support team.
