• Merchant-side processing failure: The payment gateway, checkout form, network, or merchant account can be malfunctioning even when the card is healthy.
The important distinction is whether the problem is card-side, merchant-side, or policy-side. A card-side problem follows the card across merchants. A merchant-side problem appears only at one checkout. A policy-side issue usually relates to category, geography, recurring billing, or transaction type. (9/43)

Use this five-minute recovery workflow When a payment fails, do not keep clicking Pay. Repeated attempts can create multiple pending authorizations or increase a risk score. Instead, follow a fixed sequence that gives you useful evidence. (10/43)
