What Happens If a Credit Card is Declined and the Payment Isn't Processed?

  1. You will receive an email for one of two reasons:
    1. New orders when the initial credit card authorization/charge fails.
    2. Existing orders when the credit card authorization for the current billing cycle has failed (previous authorization might have been successful).
  2. The email directs you to the Oracle Store to update your credit card information for payment.
  3. The invoice payment status for the failed payment remains as Payment Submitted until a payment has been applied.
  4. You continue to receive emails from Oracle Collections until the payment has been applied.
