Q: I have just paid via Alipay or WeChat Pay, but I have received no email confirming the payment. What happened?

We occasionally find there’s a delay when using Alipay payments. If nothing comes through after a few hours, you might need to cancel your payment and try again. Don’t worry! You won’t be charged twice. Even if the payment is showing on Alipay, no payment will have been taken if you haven’t received a document order number through our confirmation email.

Q: The payments page shows an error when I try to pay. What should I do?

We’re sorry you’re experiencing difficulties with this. Please take a screenshot of the error message you’re receiving and email it to our support team. We will investigate the problem and respond as quickly as we can.

Q: Who do you use to process your payments?

We use Stripe. They’re a great payment processor used globally by millions of businesses.

Question 3

I think I have been overcharged for my document. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Our system calculates the word count of your document to a high degree of accuracy. It is therefore possible the word count was higher than expected. You can check this for MS Word documents using the following method:
On a PC

Open your document
Select Review from the ribbon at the top of the page
Select Word Count from the left side of the ribbon and a pop up will appear showing the word count

On a Mac

Open your document
Select Review from the ribbon at the top of the page
Select Word Count from the left side of the ribbon and a pop up will appear showing the word count

If this is significantly different from our estimate, or you still think you have been overcharged, contact us and we&#8217;ll be sure to address it.
