Orphan payment

It's a payment that was made in Zenkipay, but the amount paid does not match the amount of the generated order, so you have to ask the Zenkipay staff for help to solve it.

Identify an orphan payment

Once you have made your payment through Zenkipay and after 30 minutes you receive an email indicating that the payment QR code has expired, it means that your payment does not match any order generated in Zenkipay, and this is the indicator to start with a request for resolution of an orphan payment.
