Read Pending, Successful and Failed Payments

Follow the recorded status, amount and currency to use the final platform status to decide whether to wait, fulfil or ask for a retry without duplicating or silently converting financial activity.

Last updated 23 August 2026

This task affects financial records or the verified destination for merchant funds. This guide focuses on how to use the final platform status to decide whether to wait, fulfil or ask for a retry.

Identify the financial record first

Open the exact order, Wallet entry, payout account or withdrawal involved. Match its reference, amount, currency, time and status. This guide is intended to help you use the final platform status to decide whether to wait, fulfil or ask for a retry.

Keep balances and currencies separate

Customer payment, gateway fee, merchant remittance, ledger balance and available balance describe different stages. Read each labelled value in its recorded currency and never overwrite it with an informal conversion.

Act only from a supported state

Paid orders may be fulfilled after the expected amount is confirmed. Pending provider results, payout verification and balance holds require waiting. Submit a refund, verification or withdrawal once, then wait for the new status instead of creating duplicates.

Protect payout and identity data

Use only the secure Selstack fields for legal identity, BVN or bank details. Never send a BVN, password, OTP, full card number or unmasked bank document through ordinary email, chat or a support ticket.

Reconcile or escalate safely

After the action, compare the original transaction with fees, wallet movement and provider status. If the path does not reconcile, give official support the safe reference, visible message and timestamp; do not manually move or convert funds to hide the difference.

Example: Read Pending, Successful and Failed Payments

Fulfil a successful order after checking its amount; wait on pending; give a current retry route only after a failed result.

If Read Pending, Successful and Failed Payments is not working

If the customer reports a debit for a failed or pending record, preserve the attempt and contact support with its safe reference.

Confirm the result

  • Every amount is read in its labelled currency.
  • The provider, order, wallet or withdrawal status supports the action taken.
  • No pending action was duplicated or silently converted.
  • Sensitive payout and identity data stayed inside protected fields.

When to ask Selstack for help

Contact official Selstack support when the saved result, status or resolved identity still conflicts with the intended record after one refresh. Include the business, page, time, safe reference and visible message. Do not include passwords, OTPs, recovery codes, full card details, BVN, NIN or unmasked bank documents.
