Overview
If a credit card payment is declined, it will automatically be marked as declined on the invoice and a new pending credit card payment for the same amount will automatically be created on the same invoice. The new pending payment will not have any credit card details attached to it, and it will not be processed until a credit card is applied to it. The new pending payment will also appear on the Member's account as a payment awaiting credit card details.
Process the New Credit Card Payment
The member can add the credit card details themselves to process the payment, or an administrator can add the credit card details.
