Most QuanticData proxy plans are in My proxies the same minute the payment is confirmed. Paid from the balance, the plan is created in the same step; card and PayPal payments usually confirm in a few seconds; crypto waits for the network; Standard ISP IPs arrived in a median of 3 seconds in the 30 days to 24 October 2026.

**Run it on the free credit.** Every QuanticData account gets $2 of free API usage per month.

Nothing is shipped. Delivery means the plan appears under My proxies in the dashboard, with the endpoint generator that writes its host, port, username and password, and a purchase confirmation email follows. When that does not happen at once, the Invoices page says why, in the Status column of the order's row. Below: the delivery time for each way to pay, what every status means, and what to do if an order stays pending.

## Delivery time by payment method

| How you pay | What happens after you pay | When the plan is in My proxies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Balance | The balance is charged and the plan is created in the same step | At once |
| Card or PayPal | PayPal confirms the charge, usually in a few seconds; some payments are held for a manual check first | At once, or when the check approves a held payment |
| Crypto (300+ coins) | The payment page waits for your transaction and its network confirmations | When the full amount is confirmed; the wait depends on the coin's network |
| Standard ISP, any method | The network assigns your dedicated IPs after the payment | Median 3 seconds, 99% within 2 minutes (our orders, 30 days to 24 October 2026) |
| Premium ISP, pools or by city | The network assigns the IPs and an email says they are on their way | Usually a few minutes; by city, at most about 15 minutes |

Residential, mobile, datacenter and IPv6 plans have no assignment step: the step that records the payment also creates the plan, so the generator is ready as soon as the invoice says Paid. The plans themselves are on the pages for [residential proxies](https://quanticdata.io/residential-proxies/), [mobile proxies](https://quanticdata.io/mobile-proxies/) and [ISP proxies](https://quanticdata.io/isp-proxies/).

### Paid from the balance: no wait

A purchase from the prepaid balance has no payment to confirm. The balance is charged and the plan is created in one request, and the screen says the plan is active on your account. If the network refuses to create the plan, the purchase is cancelled in the same step and the amount returns to your balance, so a balance purchase never leaves you charged for a plan you do not have.

Adding credit goes through crypto, card or PayPal like any other payment, from $5 up to $10,000 per top-up. Once the credit is there, every purchase is immediate, so keeping some credit on the balance removes the wait at purchase time. The ways to add it are in [every way to pay, with its minimum](https://quanticdata.io/blog/buy-proxies-with-crypto-or-paypal/).

### Card or PayPal: seconds, or a manual check

Card payments run through PayPal's card checkout, so cards and PayPal accounts behave the same way. After you approve the payment, the return page says it is confirming the payment with PayPal, which usually takes a few seconds, and the plan is created as soon as the charge is captured.

Some payments are authorised instead of captured: the amount is held on your card or PayPal account, nothing is charged yet, and a person checks the order before activation. The payment page lists the usual reasons: a security check against fraud, an email that does not match, a first payment from the account. Larger orders go through the same check. Our [KYC policy](https://quanticdata.io/kyc/) says it plainly: until the check clears, the order stays pending and the money is not captured; if we cannot verify, we cancel and release the authorisation.

While a payment is held, its invoice row says In review, with a note that a person checks card and PayPal payments before activation during European business hours. For a plan purchase, two buttons under it pay the same order at once with crypto or with your balance; the hold is released first, so you are never charged twice. A hold is never left open: one nobody has reviewed after 24 hours is settled automatically, either captured with the plan activated or released with nothing charged, and an email tells you which.

### Crypto: when the network confirms

Choosing Crypto opens the payment page, where you pick the coin and its network and send the exact amount it shows. The payment page follows the transaction from waiting to confirming to done. In the dashboard the order stays under Pending payments until the payment is confirmed; then the invoice says Paid, the plan is created and the confirmation email is sent.

The wait depends on the network. Tron schedules a block every 3 seconds; Bitcoin targets 2,016 blocks every two weeks, which is about one block every 10 minutes. The payment processor waits for its own number of confirmations on each network before it reports the payment as confirmed, so a Bitcoin payment takes longer than a stablecoin on Tron. A crypto payment that arrives short is not activated: a ticket with both amounts opens by itself and the dashboard shows the notice Crypto payment received in part. The reasons, and the fix, are in [what happens if you underpay a crypto payment](https://quanticdata.io/blog/underpaid-crypto-payment/).

### ISP proxies: IPs assigned in seconds or minutes

ISP plans carry dedicated static IPs, which the network assigns to your order after the payment. On Standard ISP that step is short: across our Standard ISP orders in the 30 days to 24 October 2026, the median time from payment to IP was 3 seconds, and 99% had their IPs within 2 minutes.

Premium ISP pools and Premium ISP by city can take longer. While the IPs are being assigned, My proxies says your IPs are being prepared and the list updates by itself, and an email titled "Your IP is being delivered" says it usually takes a few minutes, at most about 15 for a plan by city. If no IP matching a city choice is found, the order is refunded to your balance automatically. There is no need to order again.

## What each status on the Invoices page means

Open Invoices in the dashboard sidebar and find the order. Checkouts that are not paid yet are listed on top, under Pending payments; everything else is in the table below it, where the Status column says where the payment is.

| What the Invoices page shows | What it means | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The order under Pending payments, with "Expires in" | A checkout not paid yet, or a crypto payment not confirmed yet; nothing was charged and it is not an invoice | Pay it, wait for the crypto confirmation, or Discard it; it expires 24 hours after you started it |
| In review, or Pending review | A card or PayPal amount is held, not charged, while a person checks it | Wait, or pay the same order with crypto or balance |
| The notice "Crypto payment received in part", or Partially paid on the row | Less crypto arrived than the payment page asked | Do not send the whole amount again; reply in the ticket that opened |
| Failed | The payment was declined, or the hold was released | Nothing was taken; pay again with any method |
| Paid | The payment is confirmed | The plan is in My proxies; if not, see the next section |

**Try it on your own targets.** Every QuanticData account gets $2 of free API usage per month.

## Paid, but nothing in My proxies? What to do

1. **Check that the row says Paid.** An order still under Pending payments, or a row In review, is not a delivery problem: the payment is not confirmed yet, and the plan follows it.
2. **Look at My proxies again, and at your inbox.** ISP lists fill in by themselves, and the purchase confirmation email is sent when the plan exists. Check the spam folder too.
3. **Do not buy the same plan again.** A second order is a second payment; the first one is not lost.
4. **Ask the assistant in the dashboard.** It reads your invoices and plans and can open a ticket with the team in the same chat; the reply comes back there and by email. You can also write to hello@quanticdata.io with the invoice number.

Behind the scenes, a paid order that still has no plan 10 minutes after the payment is picked up by an automatic retry, and an order the retry cannot complete is listed for the team. You do not have to spot it first, but a ticket with the invoice number gets you an answer in the same thread.

## Messages that stop a payment before it starts

- **"You have too many unpaid invoices."** The account has 10 unpaid checkouts from the last 24 hours. Pay one of them, or ask support to reset the count.
- **"This payment method is not available right now. Please choose another one."** A method can be switched off for a while; the checkout only shows the methods available at that moment.
- **A declined card.** Nothing is charged, and the page offers to try again with another card or another method.

## How to get the next plan without waiting

- **Keep credit on the balance.** Purchases from the balance are created in the same step. With a saved card you can turn on auto-recharge, which adds credit when the balance falls below a threshold you choose; the [Billing Agreement](https://quanticdata.io/billing-agreement/) says exactly what saving a card authorises and how to revoke it.
- **Pay crypto on a fast network.** Send the exact coin amount, from a wallet that does not take its fee out of it.
- **Size the plan before you buy.** A top-up later is another payment to confirm; see [how much proxy data you need](https://quanticdata.io/blog/how-much-proxy-data-do-i-need/).

### How long does it take to get proxies after payment?

On QuanticData most plans are in My proxies the same minute the payment is confirmed. From the balance the plan is created in the same step; card and PayPal confirm in a few seconds unless the payment is held for a manual check; crypto waits for network confirmations. Standard ISP IPs took a median of 3 seconds in the 30 days to 24 October 2026.

### Why is my proxy order still pending after payment?

The Invoices page says why. An order under Pending payments is not paid or its crypto payment is not confirmed yet; In review means a card or PayPal amount is held while a person checks it; the notice Crypto payment received in part means less crypto arrived than asked. If the row says Paid and My proxies is empty, ask the assistant in the dashboard to open a ticket.

### What does "In review" mean on a proxy invoice?

The card or PayPal amount is authorised and held, not charged, while a person checks the order. You can wait, or pay the same order at once with crypto or your balance: the hold is released first. A hold nobody has reviewed after 24 hours is settled automatically, captured or released, and an email tells you which.

### How long does a crypto payment take to confirm?

It depends on the network. Tron schedules a block every 3 seconds, Bitcoin about one every 10 minutes, and the payment processor waits for its own number of confirmations before it reports the payment. While it confirms, the payment page says so and the order stays under Pending payments; the plan is created as soon as the invoice says Paid.

### What should I do if I paid but did not receive my proxies?

Check that the invoice says Paid, look at My proxies and your inbox, and do not order again. Then ask the assistant in the dashboard, which reads your invoices and plans and opens a ticket with the team, or write to us with the invoice number. A paid order still empty 10 minutes after payment is also retried automatically.

### Can I pay the same order another way while it is in review?

Yes. A plan purchase held for review shows two buttons on its invoice: crypto and balance. The hold on your card or PayPal account is released first, then the same order is paid with the method you chose; paid from the balance, it is activated at once.

## Buy from the balance, use it the same minute

A plan bought from the balance is created in the same step as the payment. Create a free account, add credit by crypto, card or PayPal, and buy residential, mobile, ISP or datacenter proxies when you need them.
