Secrets AI Payment Failed: Card and Crypto Checks

Quick answer: Do not repeat the same checkout until you know whether it completed. Confirm the account email, payment method, amount, receipt, and current subscription or Moments balance. A declined card, a pending crypto transaction, and a completed payment with missing access require different next steps.

Classify the payment state

A checkout can be declined before payment, remain pending, complete without immediate account activation, or appear failed before a crypto settlement is recognized. Search email for a receipt and compare the visible plan or balance.

If a receipt exists but the account remains free, use the paid-plan activation guide. If the balance is the only problem, use the Moments reconciliation guide.

Check card and crypto attempts separately

  1. Confirm the official checkout and correct signed-in account.
  2. Read the exact card-decline or authentication message.
  3. Check billing address and issuer restrictions without repeatedly submitting.
  4. For crypto, save the transaction hash and wait for its settlement state.
  5. Do not resend funds to the same failed checkout unless official instructions say to do so.
  6. Start a new checkout only after the earlier attempt has a clear outcome.

Avoid duplicate charges and unsupported refund assumptions

A billing error can be disputed under the current Refund Policy, but Moments purchases and crypto payments have stricter terms. Do not assume every failed-looking transaction is refundable before support confirms the status. A pending authorization can disappear without becoming a settled charge, while a settled payment requires a receipt or processor record to trace correctly.

Prepare the payment evidence support needs

Provide the account email, date, amount, currency, payment type, receipt, card issuer error or crypto transaction hash, and visible account state. Never send a full card number, security code, password, or private key.

The changelog has previously included delayed crypto settlement and upgrade issues. Historical fixes are useful context, not proof that a current payment has failed in the same way.
