# Why is my proxy plan pending?

# Why is my proxy plan pending?

Normally, a proxy plan gets activated shortly (in less than a minute) once your payment gets confirmed; however, if you notice your plan is **"Pending"** for more than five (5) minutes, here are the possible reasons why, and what you can do to activate it as soon as possible:

**PayPal payment confirmation was not received**

This usually happens when you close the browser abruptly while PayPal is finalizing the payment confirmation - ideally, you will need to wait for PayPal to re-direct you back to your Ace Proxies dashboard.

Here are the easy steps to resolve and activate your proxy plan right away:

1. From your Ace Proxies dashboard, click "Balance" from the left-side menu. Here's the direct link: https://www.aceproxies.com/user/account

2. Look for the transaction related to the "Pending" proxy plan, it should be easy to locate it as the transaction will give you a **Finish Payment** button with its status showing "Pending". Clicking that button will direct you to PayPal to finish and confirm the payment - no worries, **you will not be charged twice**, doing so will only signal our system that the plan has been paid and should be activated. See below for the sample screenshot:

**You've manually scheduled a date for your proxy plan activation**

By default, the proxy plan is set to be activated immediately after receiving the payment confirmation; however, if you selected a later activation date when placing the order, the system will activate the proxy plan on the selected date at 12:00 AM GMT.

Here's how you can activate the proxy plan manually:

1. From your dashboard, click the tab of the type of proxy that you want to activate, in this example, it's the "Premium Data Center Proxies":

2. Click on the **Pending** tab under "My Proxy Plans" and click on the **"Activate Now"** button.

That's it! Your proxy plan will be activated shortly (in less than a minute) and will be ready for download.
