A client can't pay their deposit

When your policy takes a deposit, clients pay it on your booking page. Theyโ€™re booked once itโ€™s paid.

The card was declined

Likely cause: The client's bank refused the payment. They see the bank's message and 'Try another card'.

Fix:

Ask them to try another card or contact their bank. To take payment another way, book them in from the calendar (no deposit is taken there), then record the payment or send a pay link from the booking.
