Payment Verification

Order Payment Verification refers to the process by which the seller, after receiving payment from the buyer, confirms through the bank or financial system that the funds have actually been credited, the amount matches the order, the currency is correct, and there are no deduction disputes. It occurs in the mid-to-late stage of order execution and is a key risk control step before shipment or release of documents. Use cases include: verifying bank slips after T/T wire transfers, confirming payment by the issuing bank before document presentation under L/C, and confirming receipt of payment on cross-border e-commerce platforms. Precautions: distinguish 'payment verification' from 'payment confirmation'—the former focuses on verifying authenticity and receipt of funds, while the latter merely notifies that payment has been made; also be alert to forged bank slips, partial payments, and insufficient amounts due to intermediary bank charges. Unlike 'advance payment verification,' order payment verification typically applies to balance payments or full payments, and whether shipping conditions are met must be judged in conjunction with the contract's payment terms. In practice, it is recommended to request the buyer to provide a bank SWIFT MT103 message or have your own bank issue a credit advice, avoiding operations based solely on screenshots.
