I was charged but my order wasn't placed

What to do if money was deducted from your account or card but your Chowdeck order never went through.

If you've been charged for an order that was never placed, or you're seeing a payment issue with an order, this is usually a bank or payment-processor delay rather than a lost payment.

Here's what to do:

  • Check your Orders tab first to confirm the order truly wasn't placed.

  • If it wasn't, reach out to our Support team via in-app chat with a screenshot of the debit alert or your transaction reference.

  • We'll investigate the payment and issue a refund if the charge is confirmed to be an error.

Some payment reversals — particularly bank transfers — can take a little time to reflect. If you don't hear back after reporting it, follow up with your reference number handy.
