Details of ShopBase service fee collection schedule is as follows:
ShopBase first deducts fees from the Seller's available Balance. If the available Balance is less than the total fee to be collected, ShopBase will deduct from the available Balance while also initiating an automatic top up transaction from the credit card linked to ShopBase Balance for the remainder.
If the remainder is less than or equal $5, ShopBase will automatically top up $5 directly from the credit card linked to ShopBase Balance.
If the remainder is greater than $5, ShopBase will automatically top up the exact remainder directly from the credit card linked to ShopBase Balance.
If the transaction fails or is rejected, ShopBase will recharge the account daily.
If the transaction fails or is rejected 5 times in a row, the store will be temporarily frozen until a full payment to ShopBase is made successfully.
Time frame from the first failed/rejected transaction to the store being frozen is 5 days.
To reopen your store, you have to repay all the store’s open invoices.
If the open invoice of SMS fee fails to be charged, the abandoned SMS service will be interrupted for the store immediately.
If the transaction for the first subscription fee collection fails (right after the free-trial period ends), the store will be automatically frozen after 1 calendar day following the failed transaction.
If the store’s reopening date is after the subscription expiration date, the Seller must pay for the new subscription fee.
The store’s data will be kept for 30 days following the freezing date.
