Purchases in Minimalist are associated with a particular Apple ID. Let's start by confirming your purchase completed successfully and is associated with your current Apple ID.

How to confirm Subscription:

  • Confirm Minimalist is listed under "Active".
  • If Minimalist is not listed under active, the purchase may not have completed successfully and you can simply try again inside the Minimalist app.

How to confirm One-Time Purchase:

  • Confirm Minimalist's one-time purchase is present.
    • You may need to adjust the Date Range at the top to see older purchases.
  • If Minimalist's one-time purchase is not listed, the purchase may not have completed successfully and you can simply try again inside the Minimalist app.

There are a surprising number of moving parts required to make in-app purchases work correctly. A temporary hiccup in any part can prevent purchases from being recognized. Sometimes the answer is something really simply like restarting the app or device.

Please ensure you have an active internet connection, then try these in the following order, re-checking the purchase screen after each attempt:

  • Quit or Force-Quit and relaunch the Minimalist app.
  • Restart the device.
  • Delete and reinstall the Minimalist app. PLEASE ensure all your data is synced to iCloud or backed up before deleting the app. Let us know if you need any help with this.

There is one more thing you can try which will force your device to recognize the purchase... you can initiate the purchase again.

The App Store will not let you to pay for Minimalist in-app purchases twice, so assuming you've confirmed your purchase in the previous steps, you can safely initiate the purchase again without being charged. The purchase will simply fail with a message saying "You've already purchased this".

In the event that something goes wrong, and you are charged again for the purchase, please request a refund from Apple and let us know about it at hello@minimalistpassword.com.
