Handling Unsuccessful Payments for Campaigns and Subscriptions

This article explains how to manage unsuccessful payments, including when the system automatically retries and when a manual retry is needed.

Campaign / One-off Payments:

  • These payments do not automatically retry if they fail.

  • The admin is notified via email when a payment fails.

  • Manual retry is required by the user or admin.

  • To retry a payment:

    1. Log in to the Properti dashboard.

    2. Navigate to the List of Payments.

    3. Locate the failed payment and select Retry Payment.

  • Payments can fail for various reasons, including:

    • Insufficient funds

    • Card expired

    • Bank declined transaction

  • Support staff should confirm once the payment has been successfully processed.

Subscription Payments:

  • Subscription payments may be automatically retried up to 8 times, depending on the bank error code.

  • Retries are attempted only on the original payment card.

  • The system will pause for a few days between retries, depending on bank processing times.

  • Common reasons for subscription payment failures include:

    • Expired or cancelled card

    • Insufficient funds

    • Temporary bank restrictions

  • If the user wants to use a different card, update the payment details manually before retrying.

  • Automatic retries are logged in the dashboard, so support staff can track retry attempts.

Additional Notes / Tips:

  • Always check the payment status after a manual retry or automatic attempt to ensure it has been processed.

  • Communicate with the user to confirm successful payment or advise on any next steps.

  • Document any retries in the account record for future reference.
