Common Issues

Problem: A customer made a payment, and it's stuck in "Pending" status.
Solution: It can take up to 5 days for the bank transfer to complete successfully. Once that has happened, the status will be updated from "Pending" to "Active".

Problem: I get the error "You must enter a valid Webhook Secret."
Answer: Make sure your Webhook Secret is at least 40 characters long.
