What to do if a payment fails
Notices, update the card, and resume service.
The notice
When a charge does not go through, Pluxion tells you in the dashboard and often by email. Do not ignore it. A failed payment can limit access to the plan or active services.
- Open the dashboard and read the Billing notice.
- Open the related email (check spam) and follow the safe link to the portal or Billing.
- Note the reason if shown (expired card, funds, bank decline).
Act the same day if you can. The faster you update, the lower the risk of interruption.
Update the card
- Go to Billing and open the portal or payment method section.
- Replace the card or method with current details.
- Confirm the billing address matches what the bank expects.
- Save the changes.
If the bank blocks international or recurring charges, tell them to allow the merchant. Sometimes the decline is not "no funds", but a security filter.
Resume
- After updating, use retry payment or wait for the automatic retry if the dashboard shows it.
- Confirm the subscription status returns to active.
- Open site, email, and domains to make sure nothing was left half-off.
- Download the invoice for the successful charge.
If after two tries with a good card it still fails, open a ticket with the attempt time and the last digits of the method (never the full number).
Tip
Put the billing email in an inbox you actually check. A missed notice is the most common cause of payment scares.
