FAQ and Troubleshooting

What do I need to do to start running real transactions?

It will take 24 hours to verify your account information, after that you are ready to process payments.

When will I get my money?

"The date of your next withdrawal is shown at the top of your dashboard. Once a withdrawal is initiated, it typically takes 2-5 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account. Withdrawals are marked "Processing" before we've sent the money to your bank account. In some situations, we may review your account before sending your withdrawal. This process typically takes up to two business days. You can see an estimate of when you should expect to see funds in your bank account by clicking on Previous Withdrawals in your payment dashboard." (https://support.wepay.com/hc/en-us/articles/203609703-When-will-I-get-my-money-)

Is UltraCart Payments compatible with "auth only" and "Auth then capture" authorization model configurations?

I am testing the checkout with my real credit card and a $1 item and I'm getting a decline message telling me that the address is incorrect, but its not?

The gateway will not allow a single $1 test purchase amount. You'll need to use a minimum total of your test order of $3.

I want to signup for UltraCart Payments, however, I see that does not support my product type (supplements/nutraceutical), so what are my options?

If your product type is not accepted by wePay, UltraCart has many other 3rd party payment gateway integrations that may accept your product type. In the case of so called "high risk" products and services, you may wish to inquire with gateways that cater to those markets, such as: https://www.paykings.com/

Required regulatory disclosure of fees in Canada

One of the key purposes of the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit card industry in Canada is ensuring that merchants are fully aware of the costs associated with accepting credit and debit card payments, thereby allowing merchants to reasonably forecast their monthly costs related to accepting such payments.
