Root Cause Analysis

Holds follow rapid sales growth, a high-value launch, chargebacks above threshold, unverified business or bank details, long shipping times, or a product category that carries elevated dispute risk.

Required Documents

  • Business registration and owner identity documents
  • Bank account verification in the registered business name
  • Fulfilment and tracking export for outstanding orders
  • Supplier invoices showing stock is on hand or on order

Recovery Steps

  1. 1

    Complete every verification field

    Partial verification is the most common reason a reserve persists.

  2. 2

    Ship and track outstanding orders

    Delivered orders reduce the exposure the reserve is calculated against.

  3. 3

    Set expectations with customers

    Proactive delivery updates cut the chargebacks that caused the hold.

  4. 4

    Provide a stock and fulfilment plan

    Evidence that the orders behind the balance can be delivered on time.
