How to follow a crypto buy order after you pay

  1. Step 1

    Submit the order with your payment reference

    After paying the exact amount to the ebitpoint account shown on the final review, enter the transaction reference from your Mobile Money or bank receipt and submit the order.

  2. Step 2

    Watch the payment confirmation deadline

    A pending order shows how much time ebitpoint has left to confirm your payment. The order page checks for updates while it is open, so you do not need to submit again.

  3. Step 3

    Correct the reference if you made a mistake

    While the order is still waiting for payment, use the Payment proof section on the order to correct the reference or attach a screenshot of the receipt.

  4. Step 4

    Wait while delivery is processed

    Payment confirmed means ebitpoint has verified the payment and is delivering the crypto to the ebitpoint wallet or external address you chose. There is nothing more for you to do.

  5. Step 5

    Keep the completed order record

    A completed order shows the crypto delivered and a delivery reference. Keep the order reference, payment reference, and delivery reference together for your records.

Pending verification: ebitpoint is checking your payment

When you submit a buy order, it starts as pending. The order page reads Pending verification and your activity history reads Payment verification. At this stage ebitpoint compares your payment with its own Mobile Money or bank account records before any crypto is released.

The order shows a payment confirmation deadline and a countdown. The page checks for payment and delivery updates while it is open, so leave it open or come back to it rather than sending the payment again.

Payment confirmed: delivery is in progress

Payment confirmed means the payment has been verified and ebitpoint is processing delivery. Your activity history shows this as Delivery in progress. You do not need to take any further action for the order.

Delivery goes to the destination you chose before paying: your ebitpoint wallet for that coin, or the external address and network you entered twice on the order. If you chose an external wallet, the final review also showed the blockchain network fee deducted from the crypto you bought.

Completed: the crypto has been delivered

A completed order means the crypto has been delivered. The order shows a delivery transaction reference and, where available, a delivery receipt. Keep them with the order reference and your payment receipt.

If the completed amount or destination does not match what you reviewed, contact Support from your signed-in account with the order reference. Do not post wallet or payment details publicly.

Cancelled orders and reversed confirmations

An order that reads Automatically cancelled did not have its payment confirmed before the deadline. An order you cancelled yourself reads Cancelled. In both cases no crypto is delivered for that order, so if you already paid, contact Support with your payment reference rather than paying again.

An earlier payment confirmation can also be reversed. If the original deadline has already passed when that happens, the order reads Payment confirmation reversed and is cancelled. The same advice applies: keep the payment reference and contact Support.

Use the order page, not messages, as your record

The signed-in order page is the record of what is happening. A call, chat, or screenshot from someone else does not change an order status, and ebitpoint does not need your Mobile Money PIN, one-time code, password, or recovery phrase to confirm a payment.

For a sale rather than a purchase, the stages are different: a sell order waits for your crypto deposit first and then for the Ghana cedi payout. The crypto sale statuses guide covers those.

Common questions about buy order statuses

What does Pending verification mean on a buy order?

It means the order has been submitted and ebitpoint is checking that your payment arrived in its account. Keep your payment reference ready and follow the countdown on the order instead of paying again.

Why was my buy order cancelled automatically?

A buy order is cancelled automatically when the payment is not confirmed as received before its deadline. If you already paid, do not pay again: contact Support from your signed-in account with the order reference and your payment reference.

Can I cancel a buy order myself?

Only cancel a buy order if you have not paid. Once the payment is confirmed, cancellation is no longer available. If you have already paid, keep the order open or contact Support.

What should I do if the status says Order update pending?

Refresh the order page. If the status still cannot be described, contact Support with the order reference. Do not place the same order again, because that can lead to a second payment.
