Wait for Order Processing and Re-login

Allow up to 48 hours for the payment gateway to fully process your subscription order, then refresh your account status.

Depending on the payment method and region, some subscription orders do not activate instantly. The transaction might remain in a pending state while the payment provider verifies the funds. This process can take up to 48 hours to complete.

Allow processing time

Wait for up to 48 hours after your initial purchase for the subscription order to fully process and clear.

Sign out of your account

Open WPS Office, click on your profile icon in the top right corner, and select 'Sign Out' to clear your current session.

Sign back in

Click the profile icon again and log in using the exact email address associated with your Premium purchase.

Retry the file conversion

Navigate back to the online file conversion tool and upload your document. The upgrade redirect should no longer appear.

Order Processing Delays: If you need immediate access to premium features, ensure you use instant payment methods like credit cards for future transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my WPS subscription status say pending after payment?

Certain payment gateways, such as bank transfers or specific regional methods, require manual verification or extended processing times. This can leave the transaction in a pending status for up to 48 hours before the Premium features unlock.

Can I get a refund if my subscription is stuck on pending for too long?

Yes. If your order fails to process within the 48-hour window or you no longer wish to wait, you can contact WPS Support with your transaction details to request a cancellation and refund assistance.

How do I refresh my WPS account status once the order processes?

To manually refresh your subscription status, sign out of your WPS account by clicking your profile avatar in the software or online portal, then sign back in. The updated Premium status will sync automatically with the server.
