Troubleshooting

Payment went through but the service is still locked

What to check when your card was charged and nothing unlocked.

Updated 2026-10-11

A paid service unlocks after the payment is verified and linked to your account.

  1. Check that you are signed in with the same email you used at checkout. A purchase made with a different address cannot be linked.
  2. Open your Billing page and look for the payment under recent payments.
  3. Open the service and check its status. It may be waiting on intake or on provider confirmation, which is a separate step from payment.
  4. If the payment is not there after you have checked, open a support case under Billing and invoices with the receipt number.
