Payments

What to do when checkout or a charge goes wrong.

Payment did not go through

Nothing is charged for a failed checkout. The order shows as failed on your account and you can simply start again.

If your bank shows a pending amount for an order that failed, that is an authorisation hold, not a charge — it drops off on its own, typically within a few working days. Your bank, not us, controls how long that takes.

Charged but no key

Check your account page first. If the order is fulfilled, the key is on it.

If the order sits on paid for more than a few minutes, payment cleared but fulfilment did not finish. Bring the order to Discord and it gets finished by hand. Do not buy a second time to work around it.

Promotion codes

Codes are entered on the Stripe checkout page, not on the cart page. If a code is rejected there, it has either expired or does not apply to what is in your cart.

Refunds

Refund terms are set out on the terms page and summarised in the FAQ. Those two are the authority on it — this guide deliberately does not restate them, so that there is only ever one version to keep accurate.

Chargebacks

Opening a chargeback closes the account the order belongs to. If something is wrong with an order, Discord resolves it faster and without that outcome.
