Troubleshooting payment failures

If a payment did not go through, try these in order:

  1. Check that the phone number is the one registered on your mobile money account.
  2. Make sure you have enough balance, including network fees.
  3. Watch your phone for the approval prompt and enter your PIN before it expires.
  4. Open My Library (or your student dashboard) and check whether the item is already there. Most payments confirm within a minute.

If money left your account but the item is still missing after a few minutes, contact us with the item name and the phone number you paid with.
