Solutions for common Orders Module issues.

Order Processing Issues

Orders not appearing in POS

Solutions:
  • Verify POS integration active
  • Check POS online status
  • Review error logs
  • Confirm location mapping
  • Test with simple order

Payment failures

Solutions:
  • Verify card details
  • Check processing limits
  • Review decline codes
  • Confirm KYC approved
  • Test with different card
The customer did not get their payment SMS after placing an order. Solutions:
  • Verify the customer’s phone number is correct
  • Check if the customer blocked SMS from short codes
  • Ensure the payment provider (Stripe, Gravity, or Shift4) is properly configured
  • Review the order status in the Maple dashboard — the link is sent when the order is confirmed

Order stuck as unpaid

The customer placed an order but hasn’t completed payment via the link. Solutions:
  • Payment reminders are sent automatically at 5, 10, and 20 minutes
  • If auto-convert to pay-in-store is enabled, pickup orders convert automatically after reminders
  • Check the order in the dashboard to see payment status and reminder history
  • The merchant receives an SMS notification if all reminders are exhausted without payment

Delivery Issues

Delivery not available for customer’s address

Solutions:
  • Verify that delivery zones are configured in the Maple dashboard
  • Check that the customer’s address falls within a configured zone
  • For circle zones, confirm the radius is large enough
  • For polygon zones, check that the zone boundary includes the address
  • Ensure delivery is enabled for the location

Delivery order requires card payment

Delivery orders require upfront card payment via the payment link. Pay on delivery is only available when your own drivers deliver the order, and only on POS systems that support pay in store. Solutions:
  • Inform the customer that delivery orders require card payment
  • The customer can switch to pickup if they prefer to pay in store
  • If your own drivers deliver and you want to offer pay on delivery, check that your delivery settings use your own fleet and that your POS supports pay in store

Maple Fleet courier not assigned

Solutions:
  • Verify the delivery territory is configured for your area
  • Check that the order was submitted during active delivery hours
  • Contact Maple support if courier assignment consistently fails
Solutions:
  • Wait 5 minutes for sync
  • Check POS connection
  • Verify menu published in POS
  • Review sync logs
  • Manual refresh

Wrong prices showing

Solutions:
  • Update in POS first
  • Check for active promotions
  • Verify tax settings
  • Review price levels
  • Clear cache

Integration Issues

Can’t connect POS

Solutions:
  • Verify credentials
  • Check permissions
  • Review API limits

KYC verification delays

Solutions:

  • Verify all required docs
  • Confirm information matches
  • Resubmit if rejected
  • Contact support

Customer Issues

Can’t complete order

Solutions:
  • Check minimum amounts
  • Verify delivery zone covers the address
  • Review payment settings
  • Confirm that pay-in-store is supported by your POS (not available for Square, Smile, SpotOn, Qu)
  • Test order flow
  • Check item availability

Pay-in-store option not showing

Pay in store is not available for all POS systems or order types. Solutions:
  • Delivery orders require card payment upfront — pay on delivery is only available when your own drivers deliver
  • Square, Smile, SpotOn, and Qu do not support pay in store
  • Check that pay-in-store is enabled in your location settings
