Checkout - reviewing Failed Credit Card payments

As you customers use your website and checkout you will receive queries like ‘why did my credit card fail’ This is common and normal and they can be a number of reasons why a card may fail on the checkout. CourseCo report Recent payments will display completed card payments and also payments that may have failed.

If you do not see a failed payment on the report, this could mean the checkout failed on CourseCo side and CourseCo would not attempt to send to Stripe. Example - the leadbooker entered duplicate emails on the checkout. There is a hard stop on CourseCo
