Alright so I'm not sure I read it right. Would I just send 1 sat to the same address I sent to before. But in this case put higher fees?

With child pays for parent, one of the outputs of the unconfirmed transaction is spent in a new transaction with a higher fee that causes both transactions to be mined/confirmed. In order to do that you have to have control of the funds on the wallet that either sent the transaction or the one that received it. Because this was sent using Bitpay to a 3rd party, either Bitpay or that 3rd party would have to perform the CPFP transaction, if they’re even willing to do so. It’s why I didn’t even mention it in my other reply. If this was your own self-custodial wallet, these options would be possible from your end.
Your right, bitpay was the 3rd party, and then I used my WoS to pay for the transaction. I should make a Contest for people to guess when it will confirm.
Lol that’s one way to approach it 😂 Ok so Bitpay is the receiving party and WoS is the sending wallet. I’ve never used #[7] to send on chain, but they would be using some kind of swap service to go from your Lightning balance to on chain, so I’m not sure what kind of options they have to control an on chain transaction once it’s initiated.
Not quite. It’s a new transaction that spends an unconfirmed output from your prior transaction (parent) that is still pending in the mempool. The higher fee on the new transaction (child) incentivizes the miners to mine both transactions. I would Google/Whoogle/Search how to do a CPFP tx with whatever wallet software you are using. It’s going to be a different flow depending on the software and how much the software automatically handles crafting the transaction.
