What usually happens is that the payment is successful, but the enrollment record doesn’t get properly attached to your Apple ID in the Developer backend, so the account stays in a “Pending” state.
Here’s the fastest and safest way to resolve it:
Do NOT pay again. This will only create a duplicate membership and complicate refunds.
Contact Apple Developer Support directly and ask them to manually attach the paid membership to your Apple ID and close the pending enrollment.
Go to: https://developer.apple.com/contact/
Choose Membership & Account → Enrollment
Mention that the payment was completed via the Apple Developer app.
When you contact them, include:
Your Apple ID (email)
Purchase date (Jan 23)
Confirmation email + invoice
The Enrollment ID shown on the web flow (you can mask part of it)
A screenshot of Apple ID → Subscriptions showing the active Developer membership
Ask them explicitly to:
“Attach the existing paid Developer Program membership to my Apple ID”
“Resolve the pending enrollment and activate the membership without a second charge”
In most cases, once support escalates this to the enrollment team, it’s fixed within 24–72 hours.
Hope this helps 👍
