Fees vary
Network fees can change with congestion and transaction complexity. A displayed estimate can move before broadcast, and some services add a separate withdrawal fee or minimum.
Broadcast is not finality
A transaction ID shows that a transfer was submitted, not necessarily that the destination considers it final. Services can require different confirmation counts.
- Retain the transaction ID.
- Check the correct network explorer.
- Allow for service-specific confirmation policies.
