Open a ticket on the Support portal. Your ticket will be at the critical priority level.
If you are using VM Desktop PMS, we will need to get a copy of your database. As we will need the most recent backup, if your issue happens during the weekend, someone will contact you the following Monday or later if it is a holiday.
Visual Matrix works with several Gateway platforms, any details is important. A technician will contact you to take care of the issue.

Make sure you do mention those information in the ticket:
- name of your processor/gateway.
- date(s) the batch(es) did not settle.
- if you saw any error, if so, please add it to the ticket. Even better if you have a screenshot.


Require assistance with that article?

- Which dates in the batch are affected? 
- What batch numbers show as missing? 
- Do you receive an error when you attempt to settle a batch?
