I have a customer that had their account canceled because of an expired credit card. After the account was canceled, the customer entered in valid credit card info but the account was never re-activated. How can I re-activate that account without asking the customer for their credit card info again, instead use the payment method on file? The customer is Lawson Ellinor. The customer code is 76d75b11-e64e-4e9d-bf43-48a26cf1c49e.

Thanks,
Dave

    Hi Dave,

    Here's the link to the customer account I'm looking at in reference to your question https://cheddargetter.com/admin/customers/get/id/4be47573-ca54-11e3.... It looks like this account was canceled for too many card declines on their last invoice, not an expired payment method, so just wanted to make sure we're talking about the same customer.

    We checked our logs and it doesn't appear that this customer actually updated their card information. To re-activate the customer you'll either have to have them re-enter their payment method on your customer update page or you could attempt to run the outstanding invoice on their account. If the outstanding invoice is successfully transacted, the account will be re-activated with the payment method they currently have on file.

    Thanks. How do I "attempt to run the outstanding invoice on their account"?

    If you're in the customer's account and click on the outstanding invoice, it will take you to a page with more detail about that specific invoice (here's the link https://cheddargetter.com/admin/invoices/get/id/1f21ef5c-08d7-11e6-...). All you need to do is click the button at the bottom of the page that says run invoice.
