My banking app shows the payment as pending. Should I pay again?

Do not repeat the payment straight away. A pending transaction may be a card authorisation that reserves the money without completing the payment. Check the transaction details in your banking app and any information available about your order in your client account. A reserved amount alone does not confirm that payment has been completed.

If the situation remains unclear, ask your bank to explain the transaction status and request a payment check for the relevant order. Include the date, amount and transaction reference, if available, but not your full card details. Trying again before checking could result in a duplicate payment.
