Who this is for
This guide is for managers and owners working the failed-payment review queue. A review is opened when a family's payment did not go through. Nobody is removed from a program automatically.
Before you begin
- An open review must exist. Reviews are created by failed payments, not by hand.
- You need billing management access.
Steps
- Open Billing in the left navigation.
- Go to the Payment reviews tab, or use Failed payments to review on the Overview tab. Both list the family, the amount owed, and how long the review has been open.
- Click the family name to open the review at
/billing/reviews/<id>. - Read the header: the family name, a one-line summary, and the Amount owed, Open for, and Family member figures. Open the payment page for this invoice opens the Stripe-hosted invoice when one exists.
- Optionally type what you found, who you called, and what you agreed into the note box under What would you like to do?.
- Choose one action: - Add note records the note and leaves the review open. It is only enabled once you have typed something. - Keep this subscription closes the review as resolved and keeps the subscription. Nobody is removed. - Send to the owner flags the review for the organization owner and records the hand-off. The review stays open. - Dismiss closes the review without keeping or changing anything.
- Confirm the outcome in the History card, which lists every action with who did it and when.
Expected outcome
The review records the decision and the note. A closed review shows "This review is closed" with who resolved or dismissed it and on what date, and the decision buttons are no longer offered.
Recovery
If a decision fails, the error appears as a toast and the review stays open; retry rather than opening a second review. If the review is not in the list, change the status filter on the Payment reviews tab: it defaults to open reviews only.
