LANE
After you pay
Once you press confirm, the transaction stops being yours. This lane covers what comes next: how long the wait should be, which lines on the receipt you will need, and why a refund on a settled on-chain payment essentially does not exist.

→Should You Keep the Bitcoin ATM Receipt?Yes, and photograph it on the spot. Thermal paper fades to blank. Here are the four lines that actually matter and who to contact when something breaks.
→Can You Get a Refund from a Bitcoin ATM?Essentially no, for two separate reasons. Also the part nobody explains: why the price did not feel that bad while you were standing there.
