Common Issues
Here is a list of common issues users may encounter and their solutions:
- Expired or Overdue Subscription
After the expiration date of your Cashflow subscription, the system grants a 7-day grace period for payment attempts on the registered card. During this interval, you will receive alerts on the platform about your pending payment status. However, if no payment is made within these 7 days, the subscription will be considered expired. As a result, access to the system will be restricted until the situation is rectified. It's essential to pay attention to notifications and due dates to avoid service interruptions.
- Card Rejected When Trying to Pay
Sometimes, cards can be rejected for various reasons, such as insufficient funds, bank restrictions, incorrect data, or card expiration. Make sure to review and validate your card information before attempting payment again.
- Plan Change Failure
When attempting to change plans, you may encounter difficulties or errors. This can be due to temporary connection issues or inconsistencies in payment information.
- Non-Display of Recent Payments in History
There may be a delay between making a payment and it appearing in your payment history. This is usually temporary. If the problem persists, it is advisable to contact support.
- Invoices Not Received in Email
If you can't find your invoices in your inbox, check the spam or junk mail folder. Ensure that the email address associated with your Cashflow account is correct.
- Issues with Adding Additional Modules
Some users may face problems when trying to add additional modules to their subscription. Make sure to follow the correct steps and have a valid card associated with your account.
- Automatic Deactivation of Additional Modules at the End of the Period
If you do not renew or confirm the subscription of an additional module, it may automatically deactivate at the end of the current subscription period. It's essential to be aware of renewal dates to avoid service interruptions.
These are just some common issues that users may encounter. It is always recommended to consult the help documentation or contact the support team for assistance with any problems.
