Common causes of invalid cards

  • Incorrect card details: Guests may enter incorrect information when booking through online channels or your website. Contact the booking channel and mark the card as invalid.

  • Expired card: The card's expiry date has passed. Contact the guest to update their payment information.

  • Virtual credit cards: These cards have specific activation dates (usually check-in date). Wait until the activation date before processing the payment.

  • Missing CVC: Card Verification Code (CVC) not provided during booking. For booking engine reservations, check your email for the CVC. Then add the CVC to the reservation details.
