# Paid Orders Showing Unpaid
## What This Means
**This issue occurs when a completed order continues to display an "Unpaid" status within the system. Based on system parameters, this behavior is typically caused by a payment processing error, an incomplete or partial payment transaction, a failure to properly close out the ticket after processing, an isolated terminal glitch, or a local internet connectivity drop preventing the status from updating.**
### **How to Fix It**
Please perform the following verification steps to diagnose and correct the order status:
**Step 1: Confirm Payment Completion**
- Verify that the payment was successfully completed and processed by the system.
**Step 2: Inspect for Incomplete Amounts**
- Check the transaction details for any partial payments or small remaining balances that may be keeping the ticket open.
**Step 3: Verify Ticket Closure**
- Confirm that the ticket was properly closed out after the payment was received.
**Step 4: Determine the Scope Across Devices**
- Check if the same issue persists on other POS terminals or if it is isolated to one specific device.
**Step 5: Check Network Connection**
- Check and verify whether the internet is actively connected on the POS terminal.
