Force Payment

Enable Force Payment to enforce a time frame for the buyer to pay for a product. In addition to the financial side, it allows users to keep track of store inventory and reduces the possibility of selling out of stock items. If the product is not paid within the set period (or set as Paid by the seller) the sale is canceled. In addition, product status automatically reverts to available for sale.
