How do I know I got paid for a cancellation?
Cancellations happen for a number of reasons. Whatever the reason is, we aim to always compensate our restaurant partners for meals they have prepared.
Merchants are paid when:
Cancellation occurs after the merchant has successfully confirmed the order
Order has been prepared
The merchant did not initiate or is not at fault for the cancellation
Here’s how to determine whether you’ve been paid out for a cancellation:
In the Merchant Portal, navigate to the Orders section.
Review the Status column to see which order was canceled or apply the Filter to show “Cancelled” only.
Click on Order ID to open a pop-up with order and cancellation details.
4. Within the cancellation details window, you’ll find information on:
If you were paid for a canceled order
An explanation as to why you were or were not paid for the order
Example of a paid cancellation
Order explanations
Here are the definitions as to why an order was canceled and why you were not paid for the specific order:

Staff Requested to Cancel: Your team canceled the order.
Staff Requested - Too Busy: Because your team was too busy, the order was canceled.
