Payment & Billing Help
Having trouble with a payment? Here are the most common issues and how to fix them.
My card was declined. What should I do?+
Card declines are usually caused by one of the following: insufficient funds, your bank blocking an online transaction, or a 3D Secure authentication failure. Try the following: (1) Check that your card has sufficient funds. (2) Contact your bank and ask them to allow online transactions to iKhokha. (3) Try a different card. If you continue to have issues, email support@getquicktenders.com and we will assist you.
I was charged but my subscription didn't activate.+
This can happen if the payment was processed but a network issue prevented your account from updating. Wait 5 minutes and refresh your dashboard. If your subscription is still not active after 10 minutes, email support@getquicktenders.com with your account email and the last 4 digits of the card used — we will manually verify and activate your account.
I was charged twice for the same subscription.+
Duplicate charges are rare but can occur if you clicked the payment button more than once. Email support@getquicktenders.com immediately with your account email and transaction reference. We will refund the duplicate charge within 2–3 business days.
My pay-as-you-go tender credit didn't appear after payment.+
Pay-as-you-go credits are applied immediately on successful payment. If your credit hasn't appeared, refresh your dashboard. If it's still missing after 10 minutes, email support@getquicktenders.com with your transaction reference and we will resolve it within 24 hours.
I cancelled my subscription but was still charged.+
If you cancelled before your renewal date, you should not have been charged. Email support@getquicktenders.com with your cancellation date and transaction reference. We will investigate and issue a refund if a charge occurred after cancellation.
How do I get a refund?+
Refunds are handled according to our Refund Policy. Monthly subscriptions are eligible for a full refund within 3 days of initial payment, and a pro-rated refund within 14 days. Yearly subscriptions are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of initial payment. Pay-as-you-go credits and Secretariat Service orders where work has commenced are non-refundable. To request a refund, email support@getquicktenders.com with your account email and reason. See our full Refund Policy at getquicktenders.com/refund-policy.
What payment methods do you accept?+
We accept all major South African credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) via iKhokha. We do not currently accept EFT, instant EFT, or cryptocurrency. Card details are handled securely by iKhokha — QuickTenders never stores your card information.
Is my payment information secure?+
Yes. All payments are processed by iKhokha, a PCI-DSS compliant payment provider. QuickTenders never stores, sees, or has access to your card details. Your payment information is encrypted and handled entirely by iKhokha's secure infrastructure.
