If your payment was deducted, failed, or is pending, do not make another payment immediately. Share your details and our team will help verify the status.
Do not make another payment for the same booking until your payment status is verified. Duplicate payments are harder to resolve. Contact support first to verify your payment status before attempting again.
Identify which payment situation applies to you.
Payment was declined or failed during processing. The amount may not have been deducted, or may be temporarily held by the bank.
Payment is still being processed by the payment gateway or bank. This may resolve automatically within a few minutes to hours.
Money was deducted from your account but no ticket or booking confirmation was received. This requires support verification.
Payment was successful but the booking process failed. The amount may need to be refunded or the booking retried.
You paid twice for the same booking. Support needs to verify both transactions and process a refund for the extra payment.
Your bank shows the deduction but the payment gateway has not updated yet. This sync delay is common and may resolve automatically.
Note: In some cases, banks/payment gateways may take time to update the final payment status. If the payment truly failed, the held amount is usually auto-reversed by the bank within 3-7 business days.
