- Official Telebirr support: Ethio Telecom telebirr (https://www.ethiotelecom.et/telebirr/)
- Account: not needed for a check. Checks without an account have a small hourly limit and partly hidden party names; sign in for full details, saved history and more checks.

Check a Telebirr receipt online by entering the transaction number from the SuperApp receipt, the receipt link, or the SMS. You do not need an account to run the check. Use it when someone sends a Telebirr screenshot, PDF, or receipt link and you need to know the payment really completed.

## What you need

- Transaction number

## How to verify

1. Open the Telebirr verification route at /verify/telebirr.
2. Copy the Telebirr transaction number from the receipt, SMS, or SuperApp history.
3. Paste only the transaction number into the form—no account suffix is required on this public route.
4. Submit and review the structured status before fulfilling the order.
5. Save or share the Verify.ET history entry for finance and support follow-up.

## Who it is for

E-commerce sellers, retail cashiers, delivery riders, and support agents who collect Telebirr payments and need a faster check than opening provider pages for every order.

## What the result means

A successful Telebirr check returns structured verification status plus available receipt fields such as amount, parties, reference, and timestamps when the provider data is available. Pending means the job is still processing; not found or failed means the details did not resolve to a usable receipt—re-check typing, suffixes, and provider status before releasing goods.

## Common problems

### Partial transaction numbers

Truncated IDs from cropped screenshots fail. Ask the customer for the full transaction number from SMS or Telebirr history.

### Confusing Telebirr with bank transfer receipts

A CBE transfer slip is not a Telebirr transaction number. Use /verify/cbe for bank transfers and /verify/telebirr for wallet receipts.

### Recycled fake images

Old successful receipts get re-sent for new orders. Verification history and amount/receiver checks help catch reuse.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I check a Telebirr receipt online?

Enter the transaction number from the Telebirr receipt or SMS on this page and submit. Verify.ET returns the status, amount, and parties for that payment. No account is needed for the check.

### How do I download a Telebirr receipt?

In the Telebirr SuperApp, open the transaction in your history and use the share or download option to save the receipt. The confirmation SMS also includes a receipt link. Both show the transaction number you can check here.

### What does a Telebirr transaction number look like?

It is a short code of capital letters and digits, usually 10 characters, often starting with letters such as DET, CHQ, or DAB. It appears on the receipt, in the SMS, and at the end of the receipt link.

### Can I check Telebirr from a receipt link?

Yes. The transaction number is the last part of the Telebirr receipt link. Copy that code into the form, or paste the full SMS on the Verify.ET homepage to detect it automatically.

### How can I spot a fake or edited Telebirr receipt?

Screenshots and PDFs can be edited, and old receipts get re-sent for new orders. Check the transaction number here and compare the returned amount, receiver, and date with the order instead of trusting the image.

### Is a Telebirr receipt PDF proof of payment?

Not by itself. A PDF is a file someone can change. The payment is confirmed only when the transaction number checks out as completed with the expected amount and receiver.

### Does Telebirr verification need an account number?

No. The Telebirr check only needs the transaction number from the wallet receipt.

### Is Verify.ET an official Ethio telecom product?

No. Verify.ET is an independent verification platform that helps businesses confirm Telebirr payment evidence operationally.
