Payment failed: common reasons and fixes

A failed payment is almost always one of a few things. The quickest way to sort it out is to notice whether it's one member who can't pay or everyone — that alone points you at the fix.

If one member can't pay but others can

The trouble is with that payment, not your setup.

The card was declined

Their bank turned it down — for funds, a fraud hold, or a wrong number. NestPoint can't override a bank, so ask them to try another card or check with their bank. Nothing is charged when a card is declined.

The payment page expired

A checkout page left open too long times out for safety. Have them start the payment again from the portal — a fresh page opens and goes through normally.

If no one can pay

That points at your Stripe connection rather than any one card. Open Organization settings → Online payments and check the status. If it reads Setup unfinished or Stripe needs more information instead of Taking payments, setup isn't finished and payments won't collect until it is. Pick up where you left off using Set up payment processing with Stripe.

If it worked a minute ago and now doesn't

Now and then Stripe is briefly unreachable and you'll see a "temporarily unavailable" message. Wait a moment and try again. Nothing is charged twice by retrying — an incomplete payment simply doesn't count.
