Secure and Straightforward Payments

At Car Parts Marketplace, every payment is connected to a specific order so you can easily review what you paid, track the transaction, and view any related refund or payment update.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe using the payment methods available at checkout. Once your payment is completed, the transaction is recorded in your buyer account and linked to the relevant order.

Understanding Payment Statuses

Pending

The payment has been created but has not yet been completed successfully.

Successful

The payment has been approved and processed successfully.

Held

The payment has been completed but is temporarily being held before release to the seller. A payment may also remain held while an active dispute is being reviewed.

Released

The payment hold has ended, and the eligible seller amount has been released.

Refunded

An approved full or partial amount has been returned to the buyer.

Failed

The payment could not be completed. Review the message shown at checkout and check your payment details before trying again.

Payment Receipts

You can open a payment receipt from your buyer payment history by selecting View Receipt beside the relevant transaction.

A receipt may show:

Transaction ID
Payment date
Transaction type
Amount
Payment status
Related order number
Payment method
Buyer name
Payment recipient

Keep your order number, transaction ID, and receipt until the order and any related payment issue have been fully completed.

Payment Holds

A temporary payment hold helps keep the transaction connected to the order before the seller receives the eligible payout.

During the hold period:

01

Payment remains recorded

The payment remains recorded in your account throughout the temporary hold.

02

Order fulfilment continues

The order continues through its normal fulfilment process while the payment is held.

03

Disputes can pause release

An eligible dispute may prevent the payment from being released until the issue is resolved.

04

Status may display as Held

The payment status may remain marked as Held during this period.

Release of payment

When the hold period ends and there is no unresolved dispute, the seller payment can be released.

Refunds

A refund may be issued after an approved cancellation, return, or dispute resolution.

Depending on the circumstances, the outcome may be:

Full Refund

The approved order amount is returned to the buyer.

Partial Refund

A portion of the payment is returned when the issue affects only part of the product, quantity, or order value.

Independent content card

Add this card beside one or two more cards to create a two-column or three-column row.

When a refund is processed, the transaction status is updated in your payment history.

The time required for the refunded amount to appear in your account may depend on your bank or payment provider.

Payments During a Dispute

When an eligible dispute is opened, the related payment may remain held while the marketplace team reviews the order, product listing, buyer evidence, payment record, and available seller information.

If the dispute is resolved in the buyer’s favour, an approved full or partial refund may be processed.

If the dispute is resolved in the seller’s favour, the eligible held payment may be released to the seller.

Safe Payment Practices

Pay Only Through the Official Checkout

Always complete your payment through Car Parts Marketplace. Payments made outside the platform may not be connected to your order or protected by the marketplace process.

Review the Final Amount

Before paying, confirm the product, quantity, shipping address, taxes, shipping charges, and final order total.

Protect Your Payment Details

Never share your password, verification code, complete card number, bank information, or other sensitive payment details through messages.

Keep Your Confirmation

Save your order number, transaction ID, and receipt until the order is completed.

Be Careful with External Requests

A seller should not ask you to complete payment through an external website, direct bank transfer, personal payment account, or unapproved payment link.

Report Suspicious Activity

Contact Support if you notice an unknown payment, duplicate charge, suspicious request, or transaction you do not recognise.
