When something breaks

The card was declined. Now what?

There's no video on this page yet. The answer is the real one. When we film it, this same page gets the tape.

Ask the guest to try a different card or call their bank. If checkout looks stuck, wait 30 seconds and refresh. Refund timing, when you issue one, still follows the bank — often 5–10 business days.

How it actually works

A decline is the card network, not Rex. Do not invent an automatic retry we have not sourced.

Easy to mix up

  • RecSystems declined them for fun.
  • A refresh charges them twice.
