Why a Payment Might Show as Pending Even Though the Customer Has Paid

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Overview:


If a payment still shows as Pending but the customer claims they’ve paid, it’s usually a quick sync issue between Pebl’s payment processor and the app display. Follow these simple steps to confirm the payment and refresh the status.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting:

  1. Double-Check with the Customer:

    • Confirm how the customer made the payment (e.g., via Pebl Payment Link, QR code, PayID).

    • If the customer insists they’ve paid, politely request bank proof of payment (a screenshot or receipt from their banking app).

  2. Try to Refresh the Payment Status in Pebl:

    • Open the Pebl app and find the relevant transaction.

    • Tap the transaction to open the Transaction Info page.
      (This often triggers a status refresh in the background.)

    • Tap the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner.

    • Select Manual payment.

      • If the customer has already paid, the checkout page will show as Expired — confirming the payment was completed.

      • If the checkout still opens, the payment likely hasn’t been processed yet.

FAQs and Troubleshooting Tips:

Why does this happen?
Occasionally, there may be a slight delay between our payment processor and the Pebl app updating the transaction. Don’t worry — this doesn’t affect the payment itself and can usually be confirmed quickly using the steps above.

Is the payment lost?
No — payments are never lost. If the customer has successfully paid, Pebl will confirm and settle the funds to your account.

What if I still can’t find the payment?
If the customer provides proof of payment and it’s still not showing, please contact Pebl Support via our in-app chat for further investigation.
