Most often it helps to wait a minute and try again, or to pay with another card. Find the exact error text in the article.

The section titles match the messages the product shows, so find yours and follow the advice. If an error asks you to contact support, include its text and the date.

How to do it

  1. Read the message on the payment screen or in the “Manage subscription” window.
  2. Find the same text below and follow the advice.
  3. If the error keeps coming back or asks you to contact support, write to us: include the error text, the date and what you were doing. Write any time — we reply during working hours.

Connection and outages

“No connection. Check the internet and try again.”

The request didn’t reach Bookly. Check your internet — Wi-Fi or mobile data — reload the page and try again.

“Payments are temporarily unavailable. Try again a bit later.”

Bookly’s payment service isn’t answering right now. It’s temporary — try again in a few minutes.

“Something went wrong. Try again.”

This is how the product shows a refusal that doesn’t have its own message yet. Try again. Right now this text also appears in the cases described below: a payment failed, the subscription is cancelled, the same plan is picked, the subscription can’t be resumed, a card is needed to resume, there’s no paid subscription, seats are bought on the Staff page, SMS packs aren’t on sale yet. If none of these fits and the error keeps coming back, contact support.

“Coming soon — this section is being built.”

Online payment for plans isn’t switched on for your account yet. Try again later; if you need a plan now, contact support. If you saw this after “Remove card”, see You remove the card.

Amount, consent and repeated payments

“The price was updated. Check the amount and confirm again.”

The amount on the confirmation screen is valid for 15 minutes. If you confirmed later, Bookly worked it out again. Check the new amount, tick the box to agree to the offer again and confirm.

“The amount changed. Check it and confirm again.”

While you were on the confirmation screen, the amount or your subscription changed. Check the new amount, tick the box to agree to the offer again and confirm.

Before paying you need to tick “I agree to the offer and auto-renewal” (autopay) or “I agree to the offer” (pay by link and SMS packs). Tick it and choose “Pay”. If it was already ticked, reload the page and tick it again.

“Check the fields and try again.”

One of the fields on the payment screen isn’t filled in correctly. Check the fields and try again.

“This payment was already started with other details. Reload the page.”

The payment had already started, and the details on the screen have changed since. Reload the page and start the payment again.

“The previous payment is still processing. Wait a minute.”

The previous payment is still waiting for the payment provider’s answer, so we don’t start a new one — that way you’re never charged twice. Wait a minute and reload the page. More in Two charges or an unfamiliar charge from Bookly.

“Too many payment attempts. Try again later.”

Each account can make up to 5 payment attempts an hour and up to 10 a day. Every payment you start counts: a plan, a plan change, seats, an SMS pack or a card change. Payment links from our emails don’t count.

Wait an hour and try again. If there have already been 10 attempts in the last 24 hours, new ones open up later, within a day. If the bank keeps declining your card, check it with the bank or use another one first.

“Too many requests. Try again in a minute.”

Too many requests in a row. Wait a minute and try again. The card change limit currently looks the same — see Too many card changes.

Holds, access and permissions

“Payments are on hold. Write to support.”

The bank declined 3 payments from your account within a day, so new payments are on hold until we check them. Contact support and include the error text and the date. Write any time — we reply during working hours.

“The owner manages the plan.”

Only the salon’s account owner can pay for or change the plan and the card. If you’re a staff member, ask the owner.

“The account is suspended, so payments are not available.”

The salon’s account is suspended, so payments aren’t available right now. Contact support to find out how to restore access. What still works in the CRM meanwhile is in The CRM is view-only: why and what to do.

“The administrator granted this plan. To change it, write to support.”

Your plan was turned on by the Bookly team, so you can’t buy or change a plan in the product. Contact support. More in Your plan was granted by the Bookly team.

Country and payment method

“Payments from your country are not available yet.”

There’s no way to pay yet from the country Bookly takes as yours. If you live in another country, pick it in “Country of residence” on the “Payment method” step. If your country isn’t there, contact support.

“Payments from this country are not available yet.”

There are no ways to pay from the country you picked. In “Country of residence”, choose the country you live in from the list.

“The country can’t be changed while the subscription is active.”

A subscription is tied to the payment provider of its country, so while it’s active, your country of residence stays the same. Your next periods are paid the same way as before.

“This payment method is not available in your country. Please choose another one.”

The payment provider doesn’t take the method you picked, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, in your country. Go back to the “Payment method” step and pick another one: every payment provider takes cards.

“This payment method is unavailable right now. Choose another one or try again later.”

The payment provider you picked isn’t taking payments right now. Go back to the “Payment method” step and choose another one, or try again later.

“This plan has no price yet.”

The plan or period you picked doesn’t have a price in your payment currency yet. Try another billing period or contact support.

Subscription and plan

“You already have a subscription. Change the plan in «Manage subscription».”

You already have a paid subscription, so you can’t buy a plan again. Open “Manage subscription” → “Change plan” — see How to change your plan or billing period.

“The payment for the next period is being prepared. You can change the plan or seats after it.”

The link to pay for the next period has been sent, and until it’s paid, the plan and the number of seats can’t change. Pay for the next period — with the “Pay” button in the “Plans & Billing” tab or by the link in the email — and then change the plan.

“This action is not available for this subscription: the next periods are paid by link.”

We never charge a pay-by-link (WayForPay) subscription ourselves, so actions with a saved card or automatic charges aren’t available for it. Pay each period by the link from our email or with the “Pay” button.

The plan can’t change while a payment has failed

While a charge is unpaid, you can’t change the plan, the period or the seats. Pay first with the “Pay” button in the “Plans & Billing” tab — see Your Bookly plan payment failed: retries, 7 days of access and 3-D Secure.

A cancelled subscription can’t change plans

While the subscription is cancelled, the plan and seats can’t change. Choose “Resume” first, then change the plan.

The same plan is picked

You picked the plan and period you already have. Choose another plan or period.

The subscription can’t be resumed

Only a cancelled subscription can be resumed, and only before the paid period ends. If the period is over, buy the plan again; if a payment failed, pay first.

There’s no paid subscription

This action needs a paid subscription, and there isn’t one — for example, it has already ended. Reload the page; to get a plan, see How to pay for your Bookly plan: country and payment method.

Card

“No card is kept for this subscription: each period is paid by the link from the reminder.”

The subscription is paid through WayForPay, so there’s no card to change or remove. Pay each period by the link from our email — with any card. More in How to change or remove the card for your Bookly plan.

“The card can’t be changed on its own here: a new one is saved when you pay the next period.”

plata by mono has no separate card check. A new card is saved when you use it to pay the next charge — for example, with the “Pay” button after a failed charge. More in How to change or remove the card for your Bookly plan.

Too many card changes

You can change your card up to 3 times a day. After that, the product currently shows “Too many requests. Try again in a minute.” The next change becomes possible later, within a day.

A card is needed to resume

Resuming autopay needs a working saved card. If you removed it, the subscription stays on until the end of the paid period; then buy the plan again — we save the card when you pay.

You remove the card and see “Coming soon — this section is being built.”

That’s what the tab currently shows when you choose “Remove card” but there’s no saved card any more — for example, it was removed in another tab or on your phone. Reload the “Plans & Billing” tab: if it says “No card saved”, there’s nothing to remove. We save a new card when you pay for your plan with autopay.

Seats and SMS packs

“Extra seats are available on the Team plan only.”

Extra staff seats come with Team only. To buy them, move to Team — see How to change your plan or billing period.

“This seat request is already paid or canceled. Refresh the page.”

The request has already been paid or cancelled — for example, in another tab. Reload the “Staff” page; if you still need seats, send a new request.

“The seats in this request are priced in a different currency…”

The full text: “The seats in this request are priced in a different currency from the one your plan is paid in, so it cannot be paid here. Cancel the request on the Staff page and contact support.” Choose “Cancel request” on the “Staff” page and contact support.

Seats are bought on the “Staff” page

Extra seats aren’t added when you change the plan: you buy them in the CRM, on the “Staff” page → “Buy one more seat”. See Paying for extra Team seats.

SMS packs aren’t on sale yet

SMS packs go on sale together with SMS reminders — the buying window says “SMS packs go on sale together with SMS reminders.” The SMS from your plan’s monthly limit work as usual. See SMS in your plan and SMS packs.
