Getting ready for the holiday sales peak means making sure your billing setup can handle a spike in orders. The most common reason for failed orders during busy times like Black Friday and Cyber Monday is not having enough funds or hitting credit card limits.
In this article, you’ll find some easy tips to get your payment system all set for the holiday rush. We’ll walk you through common payment issues and show you how to avoid them, so all your orders go through smoothly, and you don’t miss out on any of those holiday sales!
Here’s how to prepare your billing for the holiday season:
Check your card limits
More orders mean more small transactions, which can trigger your card’s daily limit. Talk to your bank to raise your daily payment or transaction limits so your card doesn’t get blocked. You can also turn on the auto-recharge option for your Printful Wallet to reduce the number of card transactions. This way, your balance gets topped up automatically when it gets low.
Review your Printful Growth plan billing method
Make sure the card linked to your Printful Growth plan isn’t about to expire and has enough funds. If a payment fails, you’ll lose Growth Plan access and pay full product prices. You can check this in the Printful plans section of your Dashboard.
Top up your Printful Wallet
Add extra funds to your Printful Wallet to handle the order spike.
Use Klarna or PayPal BNPL to add funds
If your bank account is low, you can use Klarna or PayPal BNPL (buy now, pay later) to top up your Wallet. They offer up to 6-month pay-later options—great for holiday prep.
