Payments

Go Dokan uses approved electronic payment methods to help customers pay for their orders securely.

This guide explains how payments work, what to do if a payment fails, and how to stay safe when making a payment.

How Payments Work

When placing an order:

  1. Select the Product you want to purchase.
  2. Review the order details.
  3. Confirm your delivery information.
  4. Review the total amount.
  5. Select an available payment method.
  6. Complete the payment through the approved payment channel.
  7. Wait for the payment confirmation.
  8. Check your order status.

The payment options available to you may depend on your order and the payment services supported by Go Dokan.


Before Making a Payment

Before completing your payment, check:

  • Product name
  • Quantity
  • Product price
  • Delivery charge
  • Applicable taxes or charges
  • Total amount
  • Delivery address
  • Order details

Make sure the payment amount matches the amount shown by Go Dokan.

Important: Do not make additional payments unless the Platform clearly requires them.


Electronic Payments

Go Dokan uses electronic payment methods for orders.

Payment may be processed through Go Dokan or an approved payment service.

Depending on the available options, you may see different electronic payment methods at checkout.

Always use the payment method displayed through the official Go Dokan checkout process.


Payment Safety

Protect your payment and account information.

Never share:

  • OTP
  • PIN
  • Password
  • Card security information
  • Full payment credentials
  • Account recovery codes

Go Dokan or a payment provider may require verification during a transaction, but you should never disclose sensitive authentication information to another person.


Do Not Pay Outside Go Dokan

Do not send payment to:

  • Personal bank accounts
  • Unknown wallets
  • Unverified payment numbers
  • Unofficial links
  • Vendor accounts not provided through the Platform
  • Courier accounts for Product payment

If a Vendor or another person asks you to pay outside the official Go Dokan process, do not proceed.

Contact Go Dokan Support instead.


Courier Payment Safety

Delivery personnel are not automatically authorized to collect the Product price in cash.

Do not make a cash payment to a courier unless Go Dokan explicitly provides that payment option for your order.

If someone asks for an unexpected payment during delivery, verify the request with Go Dokan.


Payment Confirmation

After completing a payment:

  1. Wait for the payment confirmation.
  2. Check your order status.
  3. Keep the payment receipt or transaction reference.
  4. Keep your Order ID.

Your payment may take some time to be reflected in the order depending on the payment provider.


Payment Failed

A payment can fail because of:

  • Insufficient balance
  • Incorrect payment information
  • Expired payment session
  • Bank or wallet restrictions
  • Payment provider problems
  • Network connection problems
  • Security verification failure
  • Temporary service interruption

If your payment fails:

  1. Check your payment method.
  2. Check your available balance.
  3. Check your internet connection.
  4. Try again through the available payment option.
  5. Do not make repeated payments if the previous payment may already have been processed.
  6. Contact support if the problem continues.

Payment Successful but Order Is Not Confirmed

If money has been deducted but your order is not confirmed:

Do not immediately make another payment.

Keep your:

  • Payment receipt
  • Transaction ID
  • Order ID
  • Payment amount
  • Date and time
  • Payment method

Then contact Go Dokan Support.

The payment can be checked against the relevant transaction and order records.


Payment Pending

Sometimes a payment may remain pending while the payment provider processes the transaction.

If your payment is pending:

  1. Wait for the payment status to update.
  2. Check your order status.
  3. Do not make another payment immediately.
  4. Keep the transaction reference.
  5. Contact support if the status remains pending.

Duplicate Payment

If you believe you paid for the same order more than once:

  1. Do not make another payment.
  2. Keep all transaction references.
  3. Take a screenshot of the payment records if available.
  4. Contact Go Dokan Support.
  5. Provide the Order ID and payment details.

Go Dokan may review the payment records and coordinate with the relevant payment provider where necessary.


Payment Reversed or Failed After Deduction

In some cases, your bank or payment provider may show a deduction even though the transaction was not successfully completed.

If this happens:

  1. Check the payment status.
  2. Check your order status.
  3. Keep the transaction reference.
  4. Wait for the payment provider's status to update where appropriate.
  5. Contact support if the amount is not resolved.

Do not make another payment until you understand the status of the original transaction.

  • An order is cancelled.
  • A return is approved.
  • A Product is unavailable.
  • A payment was duplicated.
  • A transaction requires correction.

  • Each credit purchase may have separate Credit Terms.

  • Do not send money to an undisclosed account.
  • Keep electronic repayment evidence.
  • Do not share your OTP or PIN.

If a Vendor asks you to make an unofficial repayment, contact Go Dokan Support.

Useful records include:

  • Order ID

  • Payment receipt
  • Payment amount
