Common issues and how to resolve them.

My PR was merged but I didn't receive payment

Try these solutions:

  • Check that your PR description includes "Fixes #[issue-number]" or similar keywords
  • Verify the issue number matches the bounty issue
  • Ensure your MergeFund account is connected to the same GitHub account that submitted the PR
  • Check that you have a payment method connected in your account settings

MergeFund isn't detecting my PR

Try these solutions:

  • Check that the repository is connected to MergeFund
