Try a declined card again on its own

When the charge after a cleaning is declined, Busy Book tries the card again in 3 days and 7 days, then tells you.

SettingsPayments Open Payments

Cards get declined for all kinds of reasons, like a low balance before payday. Turn this on and Busy Book tries the same card again for you, so you don't have to chase it. New owners start with it on.

    When a card is declined

    Your client gets a text and email with a link to update their card right away, the same as always. You get an email that says when we will try again.

  4. 4

    See where it stands

    The booking, its invoice and Card payments say Declined, retrying on and the day.

  5. 5

    If it's still declined

    After the second try, we stop and email you, so you can reach out. Their link to update the card keeps working the whole time.
