Why does my invoice say "underpaid order"?

  • Updated

Your invoice might display "Underpaid Order" if the total amount due was not fully paid. Here are some reasons why this might occur:

  • Incorrect amount sent: Double-check the amount you transferred from your wallet. It should match the amount indicated on the invoice
  • Fees from third-party services: If you used a centralized exchange, custodial wallet, or other third-party platform, like a bridge, these services usually deduct fees from the amount sent. As a result, the payment received is less than the total invoice amount.

How to resolve an underpaid order:

  • Complete the payment: Send the remaining balance to fulfill the total invoice amount.
  • Request a refund: If you prefer not to complete the payment, you can request a refund for the amount you've already paid. Please follow the refund instructions provided on your invoice.

Preventing future underpayments:

  • Pre-pay your balance: Consider topping up your Bitrefill balance in advance. This allows you to use this credit for future transactions without worrying about additional fees. You can learn about that here
  • Use a non-custodial wallet: Opt for a wallet where you control the private keys. This method usually involves only the standard network fees and eliminates extra charges from third parties.

If you've confirmed the transaction reflects the correct amount sent and are still experiencing issues, please contact our Customer Service. Provide the following details:

  • Invoice ID (in plain text)
