You completed your payment directly on a website. The transaction processed successfully, and your card was charged.
But there’s no confirmation email, no receipt, and no invoice in your inbox.
If the charge went through, the payment is usually valid. Website payment processing and email notification systems often operate independently.
Why Website Payment Emails Sometimes Don’t Arrive
- Email notifications may be disabled in account settings
- The billing email address may be outdated or incorrect
- Receipt generation can be delayed after payment authorization
- The message may have been filtered into spam folders
- High transaction volume can delay automated emails
How to Verify the Payment Without the Email
- Log in and check your account billing history
- Review your bank or credit card transaction record
- Confirm subscription status inside your dashboard
- Look for downloadable invoices in billing settings
How to Recover a Missing Website Receipt
- Update your billing email address
- Enable confirmation notifications in account settings
- Use the “Resend Receipt” option if available
- Contact website support with transaction details
In most cases, missing confirmation emails are delivery issues — not failed payments.
