In some cases, depending on the payment method and regional banking processes, transaction verifications can cause a slight delay. It can take 24 to 48 hours for an order to process fully and sync with your software account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I speed up the 48-hour payment processing time?

The processing time is largely determined by your bank or the third-party payment gateway. Once the payment clears on their end, your account will upgrade to premium automatically.

How do I know which account I used to purchase the PDF service?

Check your email inboxes for the order confirmation receipt. The email address that received the receipt is typically the one linked to your premium subscription.

Will I lose my document if the conversion prompts me to pay again?

No, your original PDF document remains safely saved on your device or cloud storage. Once your account status updates, you can seamlessly continue the conversion process without losing any data.
