4. Now select the “Cancel this transaction”

5. Click on the “Cancel my purchase”.

6. Repeat the process for all other pending purchase orders.

7. Restart Steam and check if you can make another purchase without any problem.

Using Steam Website

Another and one of the best workaround around the pending transaction error is by using the Steam website to make the purchase in your account.

Even though the payment system is the same between both the platforms, sometimes there are internet connectivity issues in the Steam client because of certain ports.

Try to login into your account using the Steam website and try to complete the same transaction again. If the transaction becomes successful, you can easily use the item you purchased on the Steam client on any PC.

Using another Payment Method

This is another very rare instance where we see this problem is where the payment method which you are using to make the payment on Steam isn’t either supported by the platform or there is some technical error in processing the transaction itself.

Here, you can try using an alternative payment method, for example, you can try using your Debit card or Credit directly with Steam instead of using third-party payment services like PayPal, etc.
