Handy Tips

If the first attempt fails, you can retry after getting the confirmation or rejection of the last payment, as it may take more than 24 hours.

For example:

  • If the charge fails on 1 November 2023 and you receive the confirmation, you can retry the attempt on 4 November 2023.
  • If the charge fails on 1 November 2023 and you receive the confirmation on 2 November 2023, you can retry the attempt on 5 November 2023.
