BTC Direct orders

Why isn't my order going through?

Generally, your crypto will arrive between 5-20 minutes.

Some transactions may take a few hours to complete. This could happen if it's your first purchase, because BTC Direct may need to conduct additional checks.

However, some factors could prevent your payment from going through, which may stop your crypto from arriving.

Ensure your payment was completed:

First, check that your payment wasn't rejected for any reason.

  • After completing your order, you should receive a confirmation email with your order details. If you don’t see it, check your inbox and spam folder.

  • If your payment was rejected, you may need to contact your bank, card, or payment provider:

    • Your bank or card provider may place a temporary hold (pre-authorization) on your funds, even if the payment was rejected. This isn't a charge, and usually, your bank or card provider will automatically release the funds after a set period.

Ensure your Exodus wallet is synced to the blockchain:

If your payment went through, and it's been longer than 5-20 minutes, and you still haven't received your crypto, check that your wallet is synced to the blockchain.

If your transaction has been stuck for a few hours and there's no clear action to take, email BTC Direct's Support at [email protected].
