Common problemFortnite
Fortnite V-Bucks missing after purchase
Wrong platform, account or failed payment
You bought V-Bucks but they do not show in the game. Epic adds them when you sign in to Fortnite on the platform where you bought them.
How to fix it
Restart Fortnite to refresh your V-Bucks balance.
Sign in on the same platform where you bought them, with the same Epic Games account.
Check whether your platform is part of the Fortnite Shared Wallet.
Look in your Transaction History; no record means the payment did not go through.
For PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo purchases, contact that platform's support; for Epic Games Store purchases, send Epic a request with the order number.
