Use a simple decision framework: first determine whether the decline is isolated or repeated, then determine whether the charge is one-time or recurring.
One merchant, one failure: Treat it as a merchant-side issue or checkout-data mismatch. Verify billing details, ask whether the merchant accepts the card type, and try the merchant’s alternate payment page only once. (15/43)

Several merchants, same card: Treat it as a card-side issue. Check balance, limits, status, permitted categories, and geographic settings. Contact the issuer if the dashboard shows no obvious reason. One merchant, repeated subscription failure: Treat it as a recurring-billing compatibility issue. Confirm that the merchant supports the card product, that the balance covers the renewal, and that the card will remain valid for future charges. (16/43)
