Failed Credit Card Billing

We recently had 5 recurring transactions fail "card declined". After emailing our customers to ask if they got a new card, none of them had. I then re-ran the transactions one at a time and they went through this time. However, each time I was sent back to the QB login page in a frame within the frame I was already using. The third time it didn't even do that. This was repeatable. This has made a bad impression on my customers, and appears to be due to multiple independant problems. This is not the first time I've seen this - it has been happening for several months or more.

Failed Credit Card Billing

The error you got may be due to some possible reasons why you're getting a card declined notification every time you run a recurring transaction, @kimber2. Let's dig into this topic to find a resolution.

 

Authorization problems and missing information is a common reason why customer's credit card is getting declined. To manage this thoroughly, here are some tips that can help you check if you entered their credit card information manually:

 

  • Ensure that the verification code and credit card numbers are correct. Cards like Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards, it is a 3-digit code on the back of the card and 4-digit code in front of the card for the American Express.
  • Avoid special characters and spaces in the credit card number or other data fields.
  • For the US USPS website, use the customer's address.

 

Once checked and no issue found, we can do a browser troubleshooting steps to rule out the possibility of having issues with your browser. Know that browsers accumulate temporary internet files that can affect your browsing experience. Too many internet files can sometimes change how your QBO company behaves, resulting in errors when performing tasks.
