Sometimes the payment fails because the card isn’t active, while you can see that the card is active in the app.
🔎 How can I check if this is my case?
- You made a payment with your card and it failed.
- In the app you received a notification saying: Card transaction was denied, because the card is not activated in the card settings.
- You follow these steps to check the status of your card: Go to the Home tab > Press on cards > Select the card that you used > You can see that your card is active because it’s colorful 🏳️🌈 When the card is deactivated it turns gray in the app 🔲
🐛 Bug status:
Fixed: The error messages now reflect the correct reason why the payment failed! 🚀
