Payment Failed
If your payment did not go through, there are several common causes and solutions. Propty uses Stripe to process payments securely.
Common Causes
| Cause | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Card declined | Your bank declined the transaction. Try a different card or contact your bank. |
| Insufficient funds | Make sure your account has enough funds to cover the payment amount. |
| Expired card | Your card may have expired. Update your payment method with a current card. |
| Incorrect card details | Double-check the card number, expiration date, and CVV. |
| Bank security block | Your bank may have flagged the transaction as unusual. Call your bank to authorize it. |
| Network error | Your internet connection may have dropped during payment. Try again. |
Steps to Retry
1. Go to your invoices
Log in to the portal at app.propty.io and click Invoices in the sidebar. Find the unpaid invoice.
2. Click "Pay"
Click the invoice to view details, then click the Pay button to start a new payment attempt.
3. Enter your payment details
Enter your card information carefully. Make sure:
- The card number is correct (no extra or missing digits)
- The expiration date is in the future
- The CVV matches your card
- The billing zip code matches what your bank has on file
4. Submit the payment
Click Pay to submit. If the payment succeeds, you will see a confirmation message and the invoice status will change to Paid.
If Payment Keeps Failing
Try a different payment method
If one card doesn't work, try a different card or bank account.
Contact your bank
Your bank may be blocking the transaction. Call the number on the back of your card and ask if they are blocking payments to Stripe or to your property management company.
Check for holds
Some banks place temporary holds on your account after a failed attempt. Wait 24 hours before retrying.
Contact your property manager
If you've tried multiple payment methods and the payment still fails, contact your property manager. They can:
- Verify that payments are properly configured for your property
- Record a manual payment on your behalf (check, cash, etc.)
- Help troubleshoot Stripe-specific issues
Payment Security
- Propty never stores your full card number. All payment processing is handled securely by Stripe.
- Your card details are encrypted in transit and at rest.
- If you see an unfamiliar charge, contact your property manager first — it may be a legitimate assessment.
