Flagged payments
Last updated: 14th July 2022
The flag status is used to alert you to any suspicious transactions on your account. Not every flagged payment is fraudulent, but flags indicate that a payment is worth investigating.
The risk settings configured for your business control when a flagged payment is triggered. When a payment is flagged, you must either capture or void it manually. If you take no action, the payment expires automatically after seven days, and the funds return to the customer.
