When a payment fails, start from a fresh package selection instead of repeatedly submitting the same stale form state. This reduces duplicate attempts and ensures a clean Payment Intent lifecycle.

## Steps

1. Close checkout, reopen the coin modal, and reselect your package.
2. Confirm card/bank app requirements (3DS, OTP, online international toggle) before retrying.
3. Submit payment once and wait for explicit success or failure response.
4. If repeated failures continue, switch payment method/browser and contact support with error text.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Should I click pay multiple times if it spins?

No. Wait for one result. Repeated submits can create confusion around multiple intents.

### Can I retry with a different package immediately?

Yes, but first confirm whether the prior attempt actually failed to avoid accidental double charge scenarios.
