# How to use Combined Checkout
Use Combined Checkout to make it easier for buyers to place multiple orders in the same LIVE—especially for lower-priced items—by reducing repeated payment interruptions.
It helps reduce payment fees and streamline checkout by combining multiple orders into fewer transactions.
### How Combined Checkout Works
When Combined Checkout is enabled for a LIVE:
* The buyer’s **first order** is paid as usual
* After the first successful payment, additional orders are **grouped together and paid later in one combined payment**
* Buyers still see an “**Order placed**” confirmation for each purchase
This allows buyers to continue shopping without stopping to pay each time.
#### When payment happens
Combined checkout is settled when one of the following occurs:
* The LIVE ends
* The total reaches $30
* A Mystery Box order is placed
### How to Turn on Combined Checkout for a LIVE
When creating a new Live show:
1. Find **Combined Checkout**
2. Toggle it **On**
**Note:** Once the livestream starts, this setting cannot be turned off.
### What you’ll see during the LIVE
#### **Orders and Payment Statuses**
During the LIVE, orders may appear in different payment states:
* **Paid** — Payment is completed
* **Combined checkout**— This item is combined with other LIVE purchases and will be paid for together later
* **Payment failed** — Payment did not go through
#### **LIVE GMV**
* Orders are reflected in LIVE GMV in real time
* GMV may adjust if a payment fails and an order is canceled
### Managing Combined Checkout Orders
#### During the LIVE
**Find items in Combined Checkout**
1. Go to your **Shop**
2. Navigate to **Buy Now** or **Auction**
3. Open the **Pending** tab
Items labeled **“Combined checkout”** are part of a combined order.
**Rerun items**
If an item payment fails, you can **re-run the item** to recover the sale.
#### After the LIVE
**Check order status**
If payment is still pending:
* The order will show as **Pending**
* You can tap **Send Reminder** to notify the buyer via DM
**View combined payment details**
Open an order and tap **View Combined Checkout Receipt**. You can:
* See all items included in the combined payment
* View the **total amount** (one transaction)
* Tap into each item to open its individual order details
### What Buyers Will See
During the LIVE:
* Buyers see **“Order placed successfully”** after each purchase
* They don’t need to pay every time; unpaid orders will show as **Pending**
After placing multiple orders:
* Unpaid orders will show as **Pending payment**
* These will be **paid together later**
If payment fails:
* They can tap **Pay now** to complete all pending orders
* They won’t be able to place new orders until payment is completed
Once payment is completed:
* Orders update to **Paid**
