    Payments pending creates "out of stock" situation

    Just a quick one in case I'm missing a trick. Am getting a few people trying to buy items but their card payment is coming back from Netbanx as declined, their order goes in to Payments Pending Service Provider in Actinic, but it decrements the stock, they try repeatedly and get the same error, another one or two go into pending and I am then showing out of stock on the web site.

    I can't set the payment pending clearance period in Business Settings to anything less than 5 days, so for whatever reason, whether its a customer who has overspent their card, typed in the wrong CVC number or is maybe even a competitor trying to prevent me from selling an item or a possible customer fraud attempt, my stock levels are depleted for 5 days and I have to manually check payments pending every day to delete some orders and refloat the stock level to at least one.

    Is this what is supposed to happen, and is there any way to shorten that auto-delete pending period? Obviously need to keep one back for a customer for say 24 hours who is having genuine problems with the system but not sure why I can't go lower than 5 days.

    Would it benefit you to have the stock for PSP pending orders turned off?

    Business Settings > Options > Allocate stock for PSP Pending Orders

      Thanks Tracey, that was the trick I was missing. I wil give it a couple of days to see if these payments do clear and then go in and change that setting.
