Card declined a payment? Don't panic and don't smash "pay" on repeat (every failed attempt adds to your decline rate, and that's a fast track to a ban).
Go through the list top to bottom — the issue is usually one of these:
First of all, in the history of your transactions next to a cancelled operation you can see a small question mark. That’s a tip on what might have gone wrong.
⚙️
Balance. Is there enough on the card? Top up the card — this is the #1 cause.
⚙️
Card limit. Have you hit the card limit or the single-transaction cap? That’s unlikely, but just in case – check the limits
here.
⚙️
3DS. We have auto-3DS, but if the platform requested confirmation and it stalled — retry the payment once, not several times. Also, check your internet connection — switching between WiFi/mobile might help.
⚙️
The platform itself. Is FB acting up again and cutting cards for everyone? Check if it's a mass outage before blaming the card. In this case, the transaction won’t be shown as cancelled.
⚙️
Decline rate. Check your card stats — if the rate is already near 20%, the card may have been restricted.
Went through the whole list and still no clue? Don't keep hammering the card. Send your manager the card number and the error text, we'll check it on our end 👉
