Customer charged for the wrong items

Resolve vision detection errors and reduce charge disputes.

Updated Feb 9, 2026

Overview

Incorrect charges usually come from product occlusion, mis-shelving, or poor calibration.

Diagnostics

  • Review the transaction in the operator portal and confirm detected items.
  • Check if products were stacked or placed outside their assigned zones.
  • Confirm lighting and camera lenses are clean.

Resolution steps

  • Issue a refund when the charge is incorrect.
  • Re-shelf products according to the planogram.
  • Run the vision calibration procedure after major restocks.

Preventive maintenance

  • Keep product labels facing forward and centered.
  • Avoid mixing SKUs in the same facing.
  • Clean camera lenses during each service visit.

When to contact support

  • Repeated mismatches after calibration.
  • Vision diagnostics show low confidence rates.
