Patient said the payment is not going through. Why is it failing?

My patient tried paying through the payment link just now and it failed 3x according to him. Is it only by credit card?

Here are the most common reasons for failed transactions.

Usual issues:

  • Some patients don't enter the OTP at all (and it times out)

  • Some patients don't get the OTP (either because they registered the wrong mobile number with the bank or the bank has an issue sending SMS at that time)

  • The card is blocked for online transactions

  • If they chose to pay using any of the over the counter options, there are instructions provided to them on what to do for Step 2

You can direct patients to message payments@seriousmd.com next time. They also see the email in the bill. 

They can simply send the error message screenshot, so we can advise on what to do.
