How can you setup an automated email notification to the client that their cc was declined on a recurring payment?

How can you setup an automated email notification to the client that their cc was declined on a recurring payment?

Thanks for posting your concern here @deepak,

 

I'll shed some light on how does automatic email notification works here in QuickBooks Online.

 

It is not feasible to configure an automatic email notification for clients regarding credit card payments in QuickBooks. This means that only the client would be aware of whether the payment was declined or successful. 

 

For Recurring Payments, you may check out the Turn on or off Customer Notification Emails for Recurring Payments article on how to turn on or off customer notification emails.

I have recurring payments setup, so if I flip that switch to "email my customers each time they are charged..." will they also get an email if there is a failed payment?  I need a way to that if a CC fails to process, that a payment link or email is auto generated and sent to them.  How do I make that happen?

I understand that it would be convenient for both you and your customers to receive an email notification when their credit card payment is declined in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @userdeepak.

 

When a customer's credit card declines during payment processing, they will receive an email notification. This notification is automatically generated and will reflect on the customer's end. However, if the payment is processed successfully, it will reflect on the merchant's end. There is no need to set up email notifications for payment processing. In case a customer needs to know why their credit card was declined, they should contact their merchant as the specific reason will be shown on their profile.

What does is the text of the email notification when the credit card has declined? What will the client see when they are notified that the payment has declined?

It's good to have you in this thread, @ARrep. I'll gladly share what message or text will your client receive if their credit card is declined.

 

The message will depend on the kind of error their credit card have. You can refer to the list of messages below:

 

  • Payment is rejected. Insufficient funds. Please use another method and try again.
  • Incorrect Bank Information. Ensure to select the correct bank for payment.
  • Payment method was declined. Please use another method or try again.
  • Your bank can't process payment temporarily. Try again later.

 

I'll also share this article to learn how long it takes to get your customer payments in your bank account: Find out when QuickBooks Payments deposits customer payments.
