There are a variety of errors that can occur when entering or updating your payment method, or when renewing or purchasing your subscription.
Important: There is nothing that our support team or billing specialists can do to resolve payment errors. They are all the result of either information being entered incorrectly, or the card issuer refusing to process the transaction. This must be resolved by you, and/or your card issuer.
If you have already contacted your card issuer and are still experiencing issues, please email support@arive.com

Errors When Making Payment
If your subscription renewal fails, it will show Payment Error next to the attempted transaction in your Plans and Billing screen (see below). You can mouse over the info icon to the right to see the Status Code of the declined payment.
The following is a list of the most common decline codes. Regardless of the code, the solution is always the same: You must contact your card issuer, or change your payment method.
