If your crypto payment for HelloSIM eSIM never confirm, the cause na usually one of four things: the transfer still dey wait for blockchain confirmation, wetin reach less than the exact amount, e comot for different network, or you send am after the 1-hour payment request don expire. Compare your transaction with the details for the payment page, and if anything no match, contact HelloSIM support with the transaction ID.
This guide go cover each cause, wetin you fit check by yourself and wetin you go prepare for support, then checklist for next time.
My crypto payment still dey pending or something don go wrong?
Start with the transaction itself. Your wallet activity list or your exchange withdrawal history dey show transaction ID, wey dem also dey call hash or TXID. Check am for block explorer for the network wey you use. E go tell you whether dem don broadcast the transfer, whether e don confirm and how much reach the address.
- E never dey for blockchain: the transfer never comot from your wallet or exchange. Exchanges dey sometimes hold withdrawal for processing before dem broadcast am.
- Dem don broadcast am but e never confirm: this one normal. Dem go issue the eSIM once the payment confirm for blockchain, and how long e go take depend on the coin and the network, so no fixed number of minutes wey you go wait.
- E don confirm, but eSIM never show: compare the amount, the network and the time wey you send with the payment page. One of the causes below fit be the reason.
Also check the inbox of the email address wey you put for checkout, including the spam folder, and look your account or the app. Once payment confirm, the eSIM go show for there and dem go email the QR code.
Wetin if I send less than the amount wey dem show?
The amount for the payment page na exact. If you send less, the payment fit stay incomplete, but if you overpay, the order still go complete. Short payment dey usually happen without the sender notice am:
- The exchange remove its withdrawal fee from the amount. You type the exact figure, the exchange comot its fee, and wetin reach less.
- Dem round down the amount when you copy am, and some numbers after the decimal point lost.
- The figure come from another place, like old request or your own conversion of the euro price.
Na the sender dey pay network fees on top of the amount wey dem show, so the full figure must reach. If your payment short, contact HelloSIM support with the transaction ID before you send anything again.
I send crypto for wrong network: wetin I go do now?
Each payment address and amount belong to the coin and network wey you select. Transfer for different network fit leave the payment incomplete. This mistake dey easy to make between networks wey share the same address format: Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum and Avalanche all dey use addresses wey start with 0x, so wallet or exchange go often accept the address for the wrong network without any warning.
Blockchain transfers no fit reverse once you don send am. Contact HelloSIM support with the transaction ID, the network wey you really use and the email address from your order, before you do any other thing.
My crypto payment request expire before I pay
Crypto payment request dey stay open for 1 hour. If e expire, start new one from checkout and no ever send go the request wey don expire; the new request go show its own address and amount.
Expiry dey usually come from delay before the transfer comot: exchange withdrawal wey dem hold for processing or extra security checks, slow login to wallet, or payment wey you start with weak Wi-Fi. If you don already send go request wey don expire, contact HelloSIM support with the transaction ID.
To pay from exchange vs from your own wallet
Plenty payment wahala dey start from exchange withdrawal, mostly because the exchange dey make some decisions for you.
From exchange:
- Dem fit remove the withdrawal fee from the amount wey you type, so wetin reach go less.
- Dem fit don preselect network, and e fit no be the one for the payment page.
- Dem fit hold withdrawals for processing or security checks, and that one go chop the 1-hour window.
- Exchanges dey set their own minimum withdrawal amounts.
From your own wallet:
- You go see exactly wetin dey comot, and dem dey add the network fee on top of the amount.
- The wallet need the network own coin to pay the fee, for example ETH for Ethereum or TRX for TRON, even when you dey send stablecoin.
- Na you go choose the network by yourself, so check the wallet network selector before you paste the address.
The two dey work, as long as the coin, the fee and the correct network don ready before you create the payment request.
