After you place an account order, it goes into review before payment is finalized. This protects you from paying for an account that is no longer available and gives support time to prepare the handoff.
✅ Step 1: Order received
Your order is created and attached to the account listing. You should keep the order page open or bookmarked.
🔍 Step 2: Availability check
Support checks that the account is still available and that the handoff can be completed safely.
💳 Step 3: Payment instructions
Once review clears, support sends payment instructions. The amount should match the order and any method-specific service fee.
⚠️ Safety check: Only pay through instructions tied to your AccountShark order. If someone sends different details in a private DM, ask support before paying.
✅ Step 4: Payment confirmation
Stripe confirms quickly. Manual methods such as Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Chime, wire, and crypto may need manual review or network confirmation.
📦 Step 5: Account handoff
Once payment is confirmed, support helps deliver the login details and transfer control. Read How do I receive account information? for the handoff flow.
