Still stuck? Note the order number from the sale's details and contact TEACHNIQ support.

  1. Find the payment: open Transactions and search by the learner's name or email. Open the sale and read its status: Paid, Pending or Failed.

  2. Pending: the payment is not confirmed yet. Wait a few minutes and refresh. If your gateway already shows it as paid, check the gateway setup below.

  3. Failed: the payment did not go through, so no access was given. Ask the learner to try again.

  4. A different email: the sale shows the email it was bought with, and the purchase belongs to that account. Look for that email in Users.

  5. Gateway setup: in Settings, Integrations, Payment Gateways, follow the card's guide, including the step that lets your gateway report payments to TEACHNIQ. Without it a paid order can occasionally be left without access.

  6. Refunds: a fully refunded sale keeps or removes access only when you choose. Open the sale and check whether you pressed Remove access.

  7. Give access by hand: open the learner in Users, go to the tab for what they bought and assign it. They get the "Product assigned" email.
