Support & Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: "Payment methods not loading"
- Cause: Country code not recognized or no methods configured
- Solution: Check backend PaymentMethodConfig table, ensure country_code='*' or matches user's country
Issue: "Banner not showing for pending_payment account"
- Cause: Account status not refreshed or dismissed in session
- Solution: Clear sessionStorage key 'payment-banner-dismissed', refresh page
Issue: "Payment confirmation fails"
- Cause: Missing required fields or invalid invoice_id
- Solution: Check browser console for error details, verify invoice exists and is pending
Issue: "TypeScript errors on Input component"
- Cause: Input component doesn't support 'required' prop
- Solution: Remove 'required' prop, validation handled in form submit
