Handling Failed Payments
Cards expire, banks decline, balances run low. Loyva surfaces failed charges so you can act on them quickly without digging through Stripe.
How you find out
The invoice shows Past due in the Invoices table.
You get a notification in the Loyva notification bell.
Org admins receive an email broadcast for the failed payment event.
Stripe Smart Retries
Stripe automatically retries failed subscription charges on an intelligent schedule (typically 3, 5, and 7 days). You don't have to do anything for this. Loyva will flip the invoice back to Paid if a retry succeeds.
What you can do manually
Open the invoice from the Invoices table.
Click Send reminder to email the customer a fresh hosted payment link.
Or click Open billing portal link so the customer can update their card.
If they've given you a new card directly, you can also charge it from the Stripe dashboard.
When to give up
If retries and reminders go nowhere, you have two clean options: void the invoice (you're writing it off) or cancel the subscription (you're ending the billing relationship). Both are explained in their own articles.
Note: Failed-payment notifications are broadcast to all org admins so they don't depend on a single inbox being watched.
