Payments deep dive

This page lays out exactly how money moves through OhMy.xin. For amounts and rates, Pricing & fees at a glance is the source of truth.

  1. Order — the member picks a plan and an order is created, valid for 15 minutes; it expires automatically after that.
  2. Payment — the member pays through the Mixin payment page (QR code or deep link); they can also choose “Pay with other assets” to settle through Mixpay at the live exchange rate.
  3. Confirmation — the platform polls Mixin transfer records and usually detects the transfer within seconds (at most about half a minute), then matches the payment note (handled automatically — nothing to enter by hand).
  4. Activation — membership starts immediately; settlement then follows: the platform takes a 10% platform service fee, the inviter bonus goes to the inviter, and the remainder is paid out directly to the circle owner’s Mixin wallet via a platform-initiated safe transfer, usually within seconds to a few minutes.
Status Meaning
Awaiting payment Ordered but not yet paid; the 15-minute countdown is running
Paid The transfer is confirmed and membership is active
Completed Settlement and payout are done
Expired Time ran out without payment; nothing to do

A transfer that arrives but doesn’t match an order is rejected — it never takes effect — and is refunded to the sender after a manual review by the platform. Common reasons:

  • Underpayment — the payment is less than the order amount.
  • Trace mismatch — the transfer doesn’t correspond to any order awaiting payment (for example, paying for the same order twice).
  • Wrong recipient — the transfer’s recipient details don’t match the order.

Refunds for mismatched payments go out after the platform’s manual review, which takes some time — contact support with the Trace if you’re waiting on one. These refunds, on the other hand, are automatic: the unclaimed portion of an expired red packet returns to its creator, and the un-won portion of a lottery pot returns to whoever funded it.

  • Order details — members open any order under Mine → Orders to see its Trace and jump straight to Mixin to view the original transfer; circle owners search Money → Orders by order number, trace id, or member.
  • Every transfer’s Trace is globally unique — the anchor for all reconciliation.
