Minecraft doesn't register my payment

The purchase shows as "pending"

Should I just wait, or is it some error with the transaction?

Hello Doge4568,

It's a good idea to contact support and verify if there's any issue.

Hi Doge4568, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, reset the store and try installing the game again.

To Reset the Store, Press the Windows Key + R > Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

Then, on the Microsoft Store, type your game name: "Minecraft".

Load the game page and click on "Install".

In case it does not work, please, look for the purchase in your Transaction History.

Sign in here: https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders?period=AllTime&type=All

Then, copy the order number and contact Xbox Support.

Then, follow these steps:

Type in your query: "Agent"

Click on Get Help.

Scroll down the page and click on Contact Support.

Select your "Other Products" and "Billing and Account Profile Questions" > Confirm.

Select "Chat with a support agent in your web browser" > Confirm > Start Chat.

I hope this helps.

Hi JohnnyXeo,

Thanks for the response.

Correct, the payment card was provided to me by a Norwegian bank and registered to my Norwegian address.

The Billing Information Screen doesn't require any payment information before landing on that page, so it looks like that Microsoft have my account details registered as a UK citizen.

I did finally get the method of payments to update. Just had to buy something in the store to get it to work. But my Xbox 360 still doesn't register with Xbox Live correctly.
