What should I do about my Bitcoin payment?

Answer a few questions about your payment to reach the right guide, a short checklist and one next step.

Your next step

Compare the replacement's address and amount

A replacement spends at least one of the same inputs, often to raise the fee, and gets a new ID. Its recipient or amount may have changed, so check its outputs rather than assuming the original recipient still gets paid.

Check the replacement's details

Before you act

  • Open the new transaction ID and find your receiving address in its outputs.
  • Compare the full address and the output's bitcoin amount, not the transaction total.
  • Only one version can confirm; ask the sender which one they intended.
