⚠️ Import: After updating your payment method, it may take up to 12 hours for the system to recognize the change and up to 48 hours to reattempt the charge. Each time you update your payment method, the 48-hour retry window resets.
Make sure your new method has sufficient funds to avoid interruptions. If the charge fails, your account may be placed “On hold” and temporarily paused until the payment is successfully processed.
FBA balance and how it works
To process orders through the Fulfilled by AutoDS (FBA) service, you’ll need to add balance to your account.
This is a preloaded amount used to pay for products when using FBA or submitting sourcing requests. Since customer payments are always processed through your selling channel, AutoDS doesn't receive those funds, so you need to fund the orders in advance.
