payment.failed
A provider rejects a charge.
When this fires
A payment provider rejects a charge: invalid card, insufficient funds, gateway risk, expired source. Emitted by Stripe, CeyPay, CoinPayments, Paystack, Razorpay and Skrill. PayPal does not emit payment.failed; a failed PayPal charge surfaces only through the subscription-level events.
Caveats
- The paired subscription event differs by provider: Razorpay emits
subscription.past_duealongside; CeyPay, CoinPayments and Skrill instead cancel the subscription and emitsubscription.cancelled; Paystack emits nothing alongside; for Stripe,subscription.past_duearrives separately when Stripe next syncs the subscription's status. Do not assume a subscription event accompanies everypayment.failed. - A single billing cycle can produce multiple
payment.failedevents as the provider retries.
