Payment Failed - What Now?

Resolve failed payments and update your billing information

Why Payments Fail

Common reasons:

  • Expired card - Check expiration date
  • Insufficient funds - Ensure balance covers the subscription amount: Income Investor Pro is $15/month, tax-inclusive
  • Card declined by bank - Bank may block online transactions
  • Incorrect billing info - Verify ZIP code and CVV

How to Fix

  1. Go to Settings → Billing
  2. Click "Manage Subscription"
  3. Update payment method in Stripe portal
  4. We'll automatically retry the charge

What Happens if I Don't Update?

  • Day 1: Payment failed email sent
  • Day 3: Second retry attempt
  • Day 5: Third retry attempt
  • Day 7: Subscription canceled, account reverts to Free plan

Re-Activating After Cancellation

If your subscription was canceled due to failed payment:

  1. Go to Pricing Page
  2. Click "Upgrade to Pro"
  3. Enter valid payment method
  4. Instant reactivation
