Question details
The user's subscription purchase remains stuck on pending in the iPhone app, and restoring purchases shows no active subscription despite an email confirmation.
- Product
- WPS Office for iOS
- Device & OS
- iOS
- Scenario
- Attempting to activate premium status or download content after purchasing a subscription via the iPhone app.
- Observed behavior
- The app does not recognize the active subscription and the 'Restore Purchases' function fails to fix it, even though the user received a purchase confirmation email.
Ensure your iPhone has a stable internet connection and locate the email address or Apple ID you originally used to confirm the purchase.
Verify Your Account and Restore Purchases
Subscriptions are often tied to a specific Apple ID or email address; signing into the exact account used for the purchase resolves most pending status issues.
When an Apple App Store purchase is completed but doesn't reflect in the app, it usually means the app is currently signed into a different account than the one used for the transaction. Verifying your login credentials ensures the app can sync properly with Apple's receipt servers.
Check your email inbox for the Apple receipt or WPS confirmation email to verify exactly which Apple ID or email address was used.
Open the WPS Office app on your iPhone, navigate to your profile settings, sign out of your current account, and sign back in using the exact email or Apple ID associated with the purchase.
Go to the premium or subscription menu within the app and tap the 'Restore Purchases' button to force the app to check for your active subscription.
Contact WPS Support with Your Receipt
If restoring purchases does not work, the support team can manually verify and link your subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Apple receipt say the purchase was successful but the app says pending?
This usually happens due to a sync delay between Apple's servers and the app, or if you are logged into the app with a different account than the one used to make the purchase.
How do I find out which email is linked to my subscription?
Check your email inboxes for the purchase confirmation receipt from Apple or WPS. The email address that received this receipt is the one linked to your active subscription.
Will I be charged twice if I tap Restore Purchases?
No, tapping 'Restore Purchases' only prompts the app to check Apple's servers for existing transactions. It does not initiate a new charge or renew your subscription early.
