i. Billing list

Screen_Shot_2022-08-19_at_4.06.46_PM.png

If you have service charges to pay, they will be displayed in the "Service Charge Bill" section. You can use SHOPLINE Payments to bind your credit card or ATM virtual account for payments.

In the "Service Charge Bill" section, you can view the bill status and the payment status.

  • If the payment status is "Processing" or "Paid", the "Pay Online" button will not appear because no further payment can be made. 
  • If the bill status is "Overdue" but the payment status is still "Unpaid" or "Failed", you can still pay online to settle the balance. If the bill status is "Completed", no further payment can be made.

  1. Select Payment Method: This section displays the number of bills to be combined: "You are about to pay X operational bills."

  3. Confirm Checkout: Displays the number of combined bills, the due date (the earliest due date among "all combined bills"), and the total amount.

*Notes:

  • If you leave this page before clicking Checkout, the combined payment will not be processed, and your selection will not be saved.
  • When you click Checkout, the system will double-check the status of each bill (ensuring all are "Pending" or "Failed"). If any bill has been updated to "Paid", an error message will appear: "Payment status updated. Please reselect". You will need to return to the billing list and select eligible bills again.

  • If you pay via credit card, please ensure that you've checked the box to agree to automatic payment; otherwise, you cannot complete the payment settings.
  • Any single payment amount exceeding TWD 200,000 cannot be successfully completed. Please contact our Online Merchant Success Team for further assistance.

A6. 

  1. Go to "SHOPLINE Payments account > [Account balance]". In the "Business type" menu, select "Service charge bill" or "Service charge bill refund" to filter service fees paid via SHOPLINE Payments balance. The No. in the "Summary" is the service fee bill number.

3. ATM virtual account

*Note: ATM virtual account payment method is currently supported only for merchants in Taiwan.

In addition to setting up automatic payment via credit card or SHOPLINE Payments balance, you can choose to pay via ATM virtual account, which uses a fixed and exclusive virtual account to improve your billing efficiency.

i. Pre-activate virtual account

Activate your designated virtual account through either of the following paths. The account only needs to be activated once. Once activated, this section will no longer be displayed.

  • Go to [Service Charge & Payment]. In the "Pre-Activate Service Charge Bill Virtual Account" section, click Activate now.

ii. How to pay via ATM virtual account

Step 1 

Click Pay Online to enter the "Pay Service Charge Bill" page, then click ATM Virtual Account in the "Select Payment Method" section.

image26.png

 

*Note: Only one payment request can be active for an ATM virtual account at a time. If another bill is currently being paid via the virtual account, you cannot initiate a new payment request until that transaction is completed, expired, or failed.

  • In this case, the "ATM Virtual Account" option will be grayed out and cannot be selected, with a notification stating: "You still have bills being processed via ATM virtual account".

image9.png

  • The payment due date for an ATM virtual account is fixed at 7 days. Bills with a payment status of "Pending" or "Failed" are eligible for payment via virtual account. The due date is calculated as follows:
    • If you apply for a virtual account at 18:00 on 1 February 2026, the payment due date will be 23:59:59 on 8 February 2026.

 

Step 2

Confirm the billing details, and click Checkout.

image21.png

 

*Note: 

  • If you have not clicked the "Checkout" button, "Payment request not submitted" will be displayed next to the ATM virtual account field, with a warning below reminding you to click "Checkout" first to submit the payment request.

image2.png

  • Once you click the "Checkout" button, the system will perform another check to see if any other bills are currently being paid via virtual account. If a virtual account is already in use or the bill status has changed to "Paid", an error message will appear stating: "Payment status updated. Please reselect".

image1.png

 

Step 3

After clicking the "Checkout" button, you can view the payment details, including the bank code, bank account number, amount, order number, and expiration time. Complete the bank transfer, then click 付款完成,返回商家 (This page is available in Traditional Chinese only).

Step 4

After clicking the "付款完成,返回商家" button, you will be redirected to the bill details page.

If you have not yet completed the transfer, the "Payment Status" will be displayed as "Processing". Please complete the transfer based on the "Payment Information" section.

*Notes:

  • Please use the "Virtual Account" details for the transfer.
  • The number inside the brackets ( ) under "Payment Method" is for record-keeping only and is not the virtual account number for transfer.
  • Payment must be completed before the deadline, or it will fail.
    • For example, if "Virtual Account Payment Expiry" shows 2026-02-05, please complete the payment before 23:59:59 on 4 February 2026.
    • If the deadline expires, the bill status will change to "Failed".
  • If you have set up automatic payments via credit card or SHOPLINE Payments, please note the following:
Bill status lock When the payment status displays "Processing" (transfer incomplete or awaiting bank confirmation), the bill will be locked and no further status changes can be made. This prevents duplicate charges.
Auto-payment setup after payment failure If auto-payment is set up after the payment status changes to "Failed", the system will automatically update the payment date and process the auto-payment.
Virtual account bills generated after auto-payment setup If a new virtual account bill is generated after you set up auto-payment, the system will not process auto-payment for that bill even if its status later changes to "Failed", unless you set up auto-payment again.
  • Amount must match exactly; partial or excess payments are not supported.
  • Status will update automatically after the transfer.

Once you have completed the transfer and the payment is confirmed, the "Payment Status" will be automatically updated to "Paid".

iii. Virtual account information

After activation, go to [Settings] > [Basic Settings] to view your virtual account information.

*Note: To complete your payment, go to the "Service Charge & Payment" page and click Checkout. Do not transfer funds directly, as the payment may not be processed.

4. Bill overdue

The service charge bill includes traffic maintenance fees, SMS fees, etc. If a bill is not paid within the payment period, the system will send reminders and take further actions as outlined below:

  • Once a bill becomes overdue, the system will send an overdue payment notification email.
  • If any bill remains unpaid for more than 40 days, a reminder window will appear in the Admin. If payment is still not completed, the system will automatically lock the store Admin until payment is made.

 

Store lock guidelines

Starting at 6 a.m. on the first Monday after the 15th of each month (including the 15th), the system will lock any store with bills overdue for more than 40 days. The overdue period is determined based on the billing month. A store meets the lock condition when the overdue bill falls into the second month prior to the current month.

Example

Scenario Description

 

Bill overdue on 31 January 2027

  • According to the billing month:
    January (overdue month) + 2 months (lock rule) = March (store locked)
  • First Monday after the 15th of each month:
    The first Monday is on 15 March 2027.

    ENtime.png

     

  • The store will be locked on:
    6:00 a.m. on Monday, 15 March 2027
Bill overdue on 12 October 2026
  • According to the billing month:
    October (overdue month) + 2 months (lock rule) = December (store locked)
  • First Monday after the 15th of each month:
    The first Monday after the 15th is on 21 December 2026.

    ENtime2.png

     

  • The store will be locked on:
    6:00 a.m. on Monday, 21 December 2026

 

Store admin locked

Once the store Admin is locked, it will display a "Store is locked" status. No actions can be taken until the payment is completed. Go to the [Service Charge & Payment] to complete the payment.

*Note: If the store administrators do not have the permission set in [Settings] > [Service Charge & Payment], they will be redirected to an unauthorized access page. For more details on administrator access and permissions, please refer to: Edit or Remove an Administrator's Access Permission.
