What to do if you were charged but have no access, a payment is stuck on pending, or checkout failed.

Check your transaction status

Go to Profile → Subscription → Transaction History (web) or Subscription → History (app). Every purchase and grant is listed with its Status:

Status What it means What to do
Succeeded / Paid Payment received, access active Nothing. Start practising.
Pending Payment started but not finished Click Complete payment to finish it, or start a new checkout
Under Review We're confirming the payment with the provider Wait. It usually clears within minutes
Failed Payment didn't go through Nothing was taken. Try again or use another method
Cancelled You left the checkout Start a new checkout when you're ready

You can filter by course and status, or search by payment reference.

"I was charged but I don't have access"

  1. Wait 2–3 minutes. Some banks and wallets confirm a little late.
  2. Open the confirmation page again if you still have it and click Check Subscription Status, or refresh Profile → Subscription.
  3. Still nothing? Email [email protected] with:
    • the email on your Practet account
    • the payment method and the date and time
    • the transaction ID or reference from your bank, wallet or card statement

We'll match the payment and activate your days. You won't be charged twice.

"Your session has expired"

Your sign-in timed out during checkout. Sign in again and restart the checkout. No money was taken for the unfinished attempt.

Paid twice by mistake?

Contact support with both references. We'll look at every case.
