You can check it out in the order details. The different cases and pay out policy are explained below.

Here’s how to determine whether or not you’ve been paid out for a cancellation:

  1. In your Merchant’s Portal, click on your Orders tab to view all your orders. 
  2. Review the Order Status column for a brief description if the order was delivered or cancelled. 
  3. Click on Order ID to open a pop-up with order and cancellation details.

Within the cancellation details window, you’ll find information on: 

  • If you were paid, or not paid, for a cancelled order
  • A high-level explanation of why you were or were not paid for the order

Below are the outlined types of cancelled orders and Lovvett’s payout policy:

  • Cancellation occurs after merchant has successfully confirmed the order
  • Order has been prepared 
  • Merchant did not initiate or is at fault for the cancellation

If these cancellations occurs, a cancellation fee may be applied. Lovvett waives all its  fees, and this cancellation will be equal to the minimum amount required to cover the expenses incurred by dispatching a driver to deliver the order. It may vary depending on where the driver is by the time the order has been canceled. This helps us get drivers to your venue in future occasions.
 

In order to prevent Avoidable Cancellations, please:

  • Ensure Correct Hours 
  • Ensure Menu is Up-to-date 
  • Set accurate Prep Times both in Settings and when accepting the order 
  • Confirm Orders ASAP
