Steam processes its transactions in the order they are placed. If you encounter the “Steam Pending Transaction” error, it means that your previous purchase did not go through.
While this issue usually happens when acrucial process glitches out during the transaction process, it can also occur if you have anunstable internet connection,problematic payment methods, orbusy servers.
Whetherby using Steam on a different platformorusing a different payment service, I’ve compiled various fixes to troubleshoot this problem.
Cancel Pending Transaction
Rarely, due to some unknown errors,the transaction process can glitch out while purchasing games or other itemson Steam.
As Steam completes one transaction at a time, this can also prevent other transactions from going through.
you may easily resolve a bugged transaction bycanceling it and placing the order again. Here’s how you can cancel your order.
If canceling the latest order doesn’t fix the issue, repeat the process for all pending purchases.
After canceling all transactions, try placing a new order to check whether it goes through.
Use Steam on a Different Platform
Sometimes, thetransaction failure can be platform-specific. This means you may face this issue only on the client application or just on the web version.
So, ensure toperform the transaction on both versions of Steam.
Also, don’t forget to cancel your pending transactions before changing the Steam platform.
Check Your Connection
It’s a no-brainer that you would require astable internet connectionto complete any kind of online transaction, and Steam’s no different.
