# Unallocated online payments

> Decide what happens to an online payment that could not be recorded against its invoice

<Badge color="green">New</Badge>

An online payment is unallocated when your customer paid through Stripe but
the payment couldn't be recorded against the invoice: the invoice was deleted,
its currency changed while the customer was paying, or a matching payment on it
was deleted first. The money stays in your Stripe account, and the invoice
can't take another online payment until you decide what happens to it.

A banner on **Invoices**, and on the invoice itself if it still exists, counts
the payments waiting. Click **Review payments** to see each one with its
amount, the date it arrived and why it wasn't recorded. Owners and admins
resolve them; other members see the list only.

## Apply it to the invoice

If the invoice still exists and is back in the payment's currency, click
**Apply** and confirm. The payment is recorded against the invoice as a Stripe
payment and counts toward what the customer has paid. Like any online payment,
only a refund can reduce it.

If you already refunded any of the payment, for example from your Stripe
Dashboard, Apply can't record it. Keep it instead, with that as the reason.

## Refund it

Click **Refund** and confirm. Stripe returns the full amount to your customer.
Fees charged on the original payment aren't returned.

<Warning>You can't cancel a refund once you confirm it.</Warning>

If Stripe doesn't confirm the refund, the payment shows **Refund pending**.
Click **Retry refund** to finish it; retrying completes the same refund and
never refunds twice. If Stripe refuses the refund, for example because you
already refunded the payment in your Stripe Dashboard, the payment stays on the
list: keep it, with that as the reason. If Stripe accepts the refund and later
reports it failed, the payment comes back to the list so you can decide again.

## Keep it

Click **Keep**, enter why you're keeping the money, and click **Keep payment**.
The payment leaves the list with your reason recorded, and the invoice can take
online payments again.
