Why is By weight greyed out when I add a charge?

By weight is unavailable because purchase orders do not record unit weights. Choose By value, By quantity or Manual instead.

A value split needs known vendor costs; a manual split needs all shares to add up to the charge. Check the allocation preview before saving.

Can I charge duty to one option instead of the whole sofa?

Yes. In Add charge, choose Specific items or options and select the option the charge covers.

Review the allocation and Landed / unit before saving. Assigning a charge to a fabric option changes that option's cost without spreading it across the rest of the sofa.

What should I do when a customer opens a chargeback?

Use Place legal hold to protect the order's signature evidence, then download the signed agreement and evidence from Signature history. Enter a reason when placing the hold.

OrderPilot does not detect card disputes automatically, so staff must place the hold themselves. Managing holds needs Export and hold signature records.

Does Collect payment charge the customer's card?

No. Collect payment in the OrderPilot app records money already received, such as cash, a check or a bank transfer.

On a draft, recording full payment also creates the Shopify order. To charge through Shopify, send the customer a payment link or use Take Payment on Shopify POS.
