There have been multiple reports of users that paid via PayPal but their account was not upgraded. It’s very frustrating if you trust someone your money and nothing happens. We totally understand and we apologize! We’ve found that unfortunately there can be delays at PayPal. Sometimes the instant payment notifications that our system needs to get to finalize the upgrade are sent minutes after the payment. We need these within seconds for a smooth upgrade. These kind of delays are very bad for your workflow and your trust in our system. We’ve signalled this issue at PayPal with high priority. They are now investigating but unfortunately there seems to be no easy fix. If you have paid with PayPal but your upgrade is not coming through, please get a cup of coffee and wait a couple of minutes. You may also try to log off and on again. ---

Unfortunately, this problem is back again… PayPal is queueing the instant payment notifications (IPN) and account are not being upgraded in our system… If your account is not upgraded, do not make any additional payments, but send an email to [info@routexl.com](mailto:info@routexl.com). We are updating accounts manually while this problem exists. ---

PayPal still did not solve [their problem](https://www.paypal-status.com/incident/production). We’re working our way through the instant payment notifications queue manually now and are trying to keep up. We do not take individual requests via this forum. If you’re in a hurry, send an email to [info@routexl.com](mailto:info@routexl.com). If you did that, get a coffee and we’ll take action as soon as we can. _Update 21:28 UTC: PayPal has reported the issue is solved._ ---

Once again, PayPal seems to be having some problems again and queuing messages. After your payment their instant notification message to our server and your upgrade in our system is delayed. If your upgrade is not available instantly, please get a coffee and wait a bit. Optionally you can try and reset your [session](https://wiki.routexl.com/index.php?title=Session). ---

We’ve seen some payments being processed by PayPal with delay the last couple of days. It may be busy in this time of the season. If you have paid but the upgrade is not available to your account, please do NOT upgrade again but grap a coffee. Wait a few minutes and push the “Reset” button. If that does not help, the next thing to do is to start a new [session](https://wiki.routexl.com/index.php?title=Session), which reloads your accounts status and refreshes some data. If waiting and resetting does not help, email us at [info@routexl.com](mailto:info@routexl.com) ---

It’s that time of year again. Instant payment notifications at PayPal are [delayed](https://www.paypal-status.com/history/eventdetails/14066). If you have paid but the upgrade is not available to your account, please **do NOT upgrade again** but grab a coffee. Wait a few minutes and push the “Reset” button. _Update Apr 28, 2020: the problems are solved, notifications are no longer queued and upgrades are not delayed anymore._ ---

Again, we see instant payment notifications delayed at PayPal. When they start queueing these messages to our system, the upgrade of your account is not immediately available. Your account will be upgraded but it will take a bit more time. If you have paid but the upgrade is not available to your account, please **do NOT upgrade again** but grab a coffee. Wait a few minutes and push the “Reset” button. If you’re in a hurry, email us at [info@routexl.com](mailto:info@routexl.com) _Update: the problems seem to be solved. PayPal explained to us that this happens if there’s a spike in transactions on their platform. When processing that volume notifications can get queued. So, it does not help to upgrade twice, it will only make the problem bigger._ ---
