# When and how you're charged

> The exact trigger for payment collection, and what's fixed once it starts.

Payment isn't something you trigger yourself — your supplier's system starts it once your order is invoiced.

## The trigger

Once your order is approved and invoiced, payment collection starts either automatically (for suppliers who've set this up) or when a member of your supplier's team starts it manually. There's no action for you to take in FikaTrade to begin payment — you're not shown a "Pay" button.

## Which payment method is used

Collection uses whichever payment method you have set as default — see [Payment methods](/customer-guide/payments/payment-methods). If you don't have a usable default method, your supplier will need to arrange one with you before payment can succeed.

## The amount

The amount charged is your invoice total. FikaTrade doesn't show a scheduled collection date or due date anywhere in your account — see [View invoices and payment history](/customer-guide/payments/invoices-and-payment-history) for what is shown.

## Can you delay or cancel it?

There's no way to delay, pause or cancel a payment from your side once your supplier has started collection. If you need to, contact your supplier directly before they collect payment.
