Paid but still locked? Finish activation

A message in the app6 stepsUpdated 7 October 2026

Apple has your payment. Veilleuse only has to confirm it. You will not be charged again.

Short answer

Check your Wi-Fi or mobile data. On the plans screen, tap Finish activation. If it says Still waiting, wait a moment and try again, or tap Restore.

Veilleuse is for iPhone.

What happened

The payment reached Apple, but Veilleuse could not confirm it yet. This often comes from a weak connection at the moment you paid. You will not be charged again.

You see one of these messages:

  • Purchase received or Premium found: We could not finish activation yet. Check your connection, then tap “Finish activation”. You will not be charged again.
  • Purchase restored: We could not finish activation yet. Check your connection, then tap “Finish activation”.

The big button at the bottom now says Finish activation. Under it: This verifies your existing purchase. No additional charge.

Finish it

  1. Check that your iPhone has Wi-Fi or mobile data.
  2. Tap Finish activation.
  3. When you see Activated Premium is ready., the screen closes. Everything is open.

If it says Still waiting

The message reads: We still cannot verify the purchase. Check your connection and try again, or use Restore.

  1. Wait a minute.
  2. Tap Finish activation again.
  3. Or tap Restore, the first small link at the very bottom.

Closed the screen? Open it again: tap Settings, then Subscribe. The button still says Finish activation.

The button does not say Finish activation?

Then Veilleuse sees no payment for this account. Check two things:

  • Are you signed in to Veilleuse with the same account as when you paid? A different email is a different account.
  • Did you join a family with an invite code? Then the family owner's subscription is the one that counts. Read Family members and the subscription.
