Payment Successful but Recipient Did Not Receive the Top-Up

If you paid for a mobile top-up but the recipient didn’t receive it, this guide explains what the confirmations mean, why delays happen, and what details to share so the transaction can be checked and resolved.

If your payment went through but the person you topped up hasn’t received their call credit, data, or bundle, here’s what usually happens and how to sort it out.

1. Check Your Confirmation Messages

When you complete a mobile top-up through Shop360, you normally receive two messages:

Payment Successful – Your payment was processed.
Top-Up Successful – The recipient’s mobile provider accepted the top-up.

If you received only the payment confirmation, the top-up may still be processing or may have failed.

2. Why This Can Happen

Delivery relies on the recipient’s mobile provider. In some cases:

  • The provider may not process the request immediately

  • The provider may reject the top-up request

  • There may be a short delay before the credit is applied

3. What You Can Do

If the recipient hasn’t received anything:

  • Wait a few minutes — small delays can happen

  • Double-check that the correct phone number was entered

  • Please share the details of the transaction so it can be checked

4. What to Share When Asking for Help

To review the status, provide:

  • The recipient’s phone number

  • The date and time of the transaction

  • Any confirmation messages or screenshots

If the top-up didn’t go through on the provider’s side, the payment can be refunded after verification.
