The customer sees “payment successful,” but the money has not reached the restaurant's bank account. This does not necessarily indicate a fault: transaction success and settlement are different stages. Online payments for restaurants require clear timing, responsibility, fees and refund procedures.
What do online payments for restaurants involve?
The ordering channel presents supported methods, and a payment provider processes transactions under its arrangements. Confirm the contracting party, settlement account, required documents and methods actually available to your merchant account.
Order status and payment status
Staff may encounter incomplete payments or successful payments where the order record needs investigation. Ask how these cases appear, who reviews them and when preparation starts. A customer-supplied screenshot alone is not sufficient confirmation that funds arrived.
Settlement and available cash
Settlement follows a defined cycle and conditions. Establish when the clock starts, business-day treatment and exceptions, and whether fees or refunds are deducted before or after transfer. This affects ingredient purchasing and working capital.
Put fees into one model
Record any fixed transaction charge, percentage and settlement, refund or other service fees. Clarify tax treatment with the provider and your accountant. Align the basis before comparing a headline percentage with an all-inclusive price.
A fixed charge has a larger proportional effect on a small order than a large one. Test representative basket values rather than using only your largest purchase to show a favorable result. An advertisement is not a confirmed tariff for your account.
Rehearse cancellation and refunds
Identify who requests and approves a refund, how the customer learns its outcome and when it affects settlement. Test supported cases in an appropriate environment without unnecessary real transactions.
Cash on delivery has a different route: who holds the cash, when it is handed over and how it is matched to orders. Displaying the option does not establish collection, return or failed-delivery responsibilities.
What should you confirm with Elordar?
Elordar's documents describe partner payment arrangements and record a 10–15-day settlement cycle. The cycle definition, transferring party and exceptions require confirmation in the applicable merchant offer; this is not a universal payout commitment.
Confirm methods, charges, discrepancy handling and support. The documents do not establish support for every Egyptian gateway or wallet. Only display a payment provider's logo after confirming activation and testing its operation for your account.
FAQs
Is Elordar the payment gateway?
Elordar is an ordering platform. Payments depend on supported partner arrangements. Your offer should explain each party's role.
Should dashboard sales equal a bank transfer?
Not necessarily. Dates, fees, refunds and settlement periods can differ. Match order references and relevant components before treating a difference as an error.
Can we promise a fixed refund time?
Use the timing confirmed for your arrangement, including its starting point and exceptions. Do not invent a deadline.
Review money alongside the order
