Preorder Manual Retries
If a customer has had a failed payment after 3 attempts when the Preorder is dispatched, they will go into a state of 'Manual Retry' and need to be addressed by Customer Service, Wine Advisors or Allstars. Occasionally some customers will remain in 'retry' so these also need addressing.
- Log into Telesales and go to CRM > Preorders
- Under the 'State' drop down, search for 'Manual Retry' then click 'Search' - this returns all the customers that have been attempted 3 times. Also do a search for 'Retry' as these people will need working.
- Click 'View' against the customer you are going to work on - you will see an error message advising the payment failure, along with a 'create order now' button
- Click on the 'Payment' tab to see what the payment method is
- If the card is in date or it is paypal, it is worth going back to the 'Preorder Details' tab and clicking 'Create Order Now' - if there are no payment methods or the card is expired, then this is not worth doing.
- If the payment still fails, or the card is expired/no payment methods found. Then you will need to contact the customer to obtain updated payment details - unfortunately we cannot update Paypals so a card would need to be added if Paypal fails.
- Once you have the new payment details and updated them on the preorder, click into the 'Preorder Details' and click 'Create Order now' - then click 'Proceed' on the popup
- If it's successful, you will see a blue message advising and see the 'Balance' order on the details - the customer is no longer a manual retry
