How invoices and AutoPay work

Where to pay unpaid invoices, how AutoPay charges your card, and why an order can show as paused.

Written by Danny

When a customer buys from your store, that payment goes to you. Dripshipper then invoices you for the coffee, packing, and any shipping we bill.

Where to pay

Open Dripshipper and go to Invoices in the left menu. That page is in the Dripshipper app, not in Shopify.

Open the unpaid invoice and pay it with the card on file.

AutoPay

Turn AutoPay on in Settings (Auto-Payment) and keep a valid card on file.

When AutoPay is on, we charge that card when the order comes in. When it is off, the order waits until you pay the invoice.

Why an order looks unpaid or paused

  • AutoPay is off

  • The card on file failed or expired

  • You paid a different invoice than the one attached to that order

  • Shopify collected the customer’s money, but your Dripshipper invoice is still open

Shopify “paid” does not mean the Dripshipper invoice is paid.

Auto-Fulfill (Shopify)

In Settings you can also turn on Shopify Automatic Fulfillment. That starts fulfillment as soon as the order is ready — it does not replace paying the invoice. If AutoPay fails, fulfillment still waits.
