Merchants encountering issues such as incorrect tokens, wrong networks, or blocked transactions during payment collection can resolve these exceptions via the merchant dashboard by navigating to [Collection] → [Abnormal Payments].
1. What Types of Abnormal Payments Can Be Handled?
- Merchant Supplementary Orders Supported: Orders with wrong network or wrong token, and payment transactions to static addresses on EVM networks that have been deleted.
- Merchant Refunds Supported: Blocked transactions flagged as high risk, and blocked transactions to “deleted fixed addresses.”
- Cases Requiring Gate Pay Account Manager Assistance for Refunds:
- For tokens/chains not supported by Gate Pay but supported by Gate Exchange: An equivalent 20 USDT fee will be deducted from the confirmed on-chain assets, and the remaining assets will be refunded.
- If the token is not supported by Gate Exchange, but the payment’s blockchain network is supported, generally, we do not process or refund these transactions. If the paid token is confirmed to be a safe asset, the merchant may prepay a 20 USDT fee to Gate, after which we will assist in a full refund to the user (the merchant may decide whether to pass this fee to the user).
- If both the token and the network are not supported by Gate Exchange, Gate Pay cannot process these funds.
If the order amount is less than 20 USDT, a refund cannot be processed.
2. Refund & Supplementary Order Rules
Refunds
- Currently, only abnormal transactions classified as “blocked” are eligible for refunds, and no handling fee is charged.
- After submitting a refund request, you must contact your Gate Pay account manager for approval.
Supplementary Orders
- Once a supplementary order is successfully processed, a new valid order will be generated. The new order amount is credited directly to the merchant’s balance, and a new transaction record is created.
- The status of the original abnormal order remains unchanged and can still be queried as usual.
