Overview
Unsettled Balances are funds that are owed to the dealership by customers. These funds have not been collected from customers and therefore will not be reimbursed to your dealership until they are successfully charged and settled.
Viewing and Managing Unsettled Balances
How does an Unsettled Balance occur?
- A contract was finished in Dealerware Mobile and the user selected Charge Later to temporarily waive the transaction.
- A contract was finished in Dealerware Web but the associated balance was never charged.
- A customer's credit card declined when attempting to process the balance in Dealerware Web or Mobile.
- An invoice was modified in Dealerware Web but was never settled.
