What to do when a payment fails

Understand a declined or failed payment and retry it safely.

BEFORE YOU START

Get the right details ready

Check the failure email and invoice once. Have an alternative payment method available, but avoid repeated rapid attempts.

Security first. Never include account passwords, card details or authentication codes in a support ticket.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Make the change in Knox

Work through each step in order. Keep this guide open in another tab if that is easier.

  1. 1

    Open the unpaid invoice and check the payment status shown at the top.

  2. 2

    Confirm that your billing name and address are current under Account details.

  3. 3

    Retry with the saved payment method or choose another available method.

  4. 4

    If the bank still declines the payment, contact the card issuer before trying repeatedly.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Check that it worked

After a successful retry the invoice changes to Paid and Knox records the payment confirmation.

IF IT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT

Try this before contacting support

Refresh the invoice once. If the status still looks wrong, do not submit the same payment repeatedly; open a support ticket and include the invoice number.
