Selstack is a platform for creators and businesses to build a public selling page, share individual offers, accept supported payments and bookings, and manage the resulting orders and customer details. A “Stack” is a selling page. This guide explains the relevant workflow and the seller’s responsibilities; payment methods, account requirements and some features depend on the business configuration and plan.
Selstack records customer payment activity in the Payments area. Use this view to verify what happened before you fulfil a paid offer.
Review payment activity
- Open Payments from the sidebar.
- Use the date controls or search to narrow the list.
- Open the relevant payment.
- Confirm the status, amount, customer and offer.
- Use the recorded details to begin fulfilment only when the status supports it.
Do not fulfil from a screenshot
A message or bank screenshot is not the workspace record. If a customer says they paid but you cannot find a successful entry, check the email, amount and time, then ask them to wait while the payment status is investigated.
Use a fulfilment checklist
- Payment verified in Selstack.
- Customer details are complete.
- Product variation or service scope is confirmed.
- Expected delivery or appointment information is sent.
- Any refund is submitted from the correct payment record.
- Dispatch or service-completion evidence is retained in your own fulfilment process with the Selstack order reference.
Selstack’s seller order page currently has a refund action but no general Mark fulfilled control. Payments remains the financial record; do not tell a customer that Selstack has recorded physical or service fulfilment when it has not.
If a payment is pending or failed
Do not repeatedly charge the customer or create replacement links without checking the current record. Ask the customer to follow the message shown by their payment method, and use official support if the status remains unclear.
Operational habit: review new, pending and failed activity at a regular time each day so exceptions do not get lost in messages.
Use the order as the shared customer record
An order connects the customer’s chosen offer, amount, currency, payment outcome and delivery context. Selstack’s order view is the place to establish what happened before deciding what to fulfil or how to answer a question. A social message, a payment alert and a screenshot can provide context, but they should not replace the relevant record. Start with the business, customer and safe order reference. This is especially important when several customers have similar names or one customer has made more than one purchase.
Read payment and fulfilment separately
A successful payment does not mean a physical parcel has arrived or a service has been delivered. Conversely, an order can exist while payment remains pending or due. Read the labelled payment and fulfilment information before taking the next action. For pay-on-delivery orders, the seller collects money directly and must not treat placement as an online payment confirmation. Use the available seller actions to record what has actually occurred. Accurate status updates help both the customer and other authorised staff understand what still needs attention.
Confirm the result
Review the item or service, quantity, relevant options and delivery information. Check the currency beside every amount rather than comparing bare numbers from different records. For a physical item, use the selected shipping or collection arrangement. For a digital resource, establish which files or access options were included. For a booking, review the service and scheduled time in its proper context. If required information is incomplete, ask a focused question through the business’s established contact route rather than making an assumption that changes the customer’s order.
Search before creating another record
When a customer says a payment or order is missing, search using the safe references, email and time information available. Check whether the customer is describing a second attempt rather than a second completed purchase. Do not ask them to pay again simply because a confirmation email is delayed. Look for the corresponding order and payment result first. If a team member has already started investigating, keep the next update on the same case. Parallel, uncoordinated responses can create duplicate fulfilment or contradictory promises.
Keep a clear owner for the next action
An operational queue works best when each unresolved order has a clear next step and someone responsible for it. The next action might be confirming a delivery detail, preparing a parcel, checking access or explaining a pending payment. Write factual notes that another authorised person can understand. Avoid collecting unrelated personal information or copying full financial credentials into internal comments. A good hand-off explains what was checked, what remains uncertain and when the customer should expect another update.
Support the customer’s purchase journey
Customers may use receipts and the purchase portal to find their purchases and eligible resources. Review the route appropriate to the order rather than sending an owner-only dashboard link. If a customer cannot access a digital product, compare the purchase entitlement, payment state and file configuration. If an event pass or course enrolment is involved, inspect the corresponding attendee or learner record as well. These are connected parts of the customer experience, but the confirmation for one offer type should not be assumed to grant access to another.
Communicate an accurate status
Explain the current state in everyday language and distinguish confirmed facts from the next investigation step. “We found the order and are checking the delivery address” is more useful than an unsupported promise that everything is resolved. If there is a delay, give an honest next update point. Do not report a refund as completed because a request was submitted, or a delivery as complete because a label was created. The message to the customer should match the labelled status and evidence available to the business.
Resolve exceptions through the correct workflow
Refunds, disputes, payment investigations and fulfilment changes require different actions. Open the correct order and review its current status before choosing one. A direct-collection pay-on-delivery payment is not a gateway charge that can be reversed through an online refund action. A disputed online payment needs the relevant evidence and review process. When support assistance is required, provide the order reference, approximate time and a concise description of the issue. Preserve the original records rather than editing them to make a report appear simpler.
Turn repeated problems into improvements
At a regular review, group recurring questions by cause: unclear descriptions, missing delivery details, access instructions or payment uncertainty. Improve the point where the misunderstanding begins. A clearer product page can reduce support work, while a better fulfilment checklist can prevent a genuine operational mistake. Keep the difference between a customer question and a product defect clear. Selstack brings the relevant records together; the business’s process determines whether those records lead to consistent action and a dependable customer experience.
