"Payment failed" red banner showing despite payments being successful.

We've received some reports of customers getting a notification on their mobile app "Payment Failed: We were unable to charge you. To keep Premium, update your payment method ASAP." despite payment being successful or being part of Premium Family or Premium Duo.

Hello @ksfbys 

Thanks for reaching out. Can you try logging out of the app, rebooting your phone and logging back in? This might trigger a refresh in the app. If this doesn't work, I'd recommend having a clean reinstall of Spotify following these steps.

Let me know how it goes!

I purchased a duo account today but on the app it wants my girlfriend to update her payment info or downgrade it says. So she went online like it told her to and when she tries to update her payment info it won’t let her because it says I post the duo plan.

Hi! Thank you for entertaining my question! Unfortunately, your suggested ways did not work :((
What else should I do?

This is how it looks like whenever I open the spotify app.

Hi, I am having the same exact issue as the above. I have made payment on the 2nd of February 2023 and had the receipt thus it has been showing that payment has failed. I have followed the steps given above and yet the issue keep persisting. Please advise.

Hello @Anderson517!

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Community. Can you let me know if your girlfriend's Spotify account page shows that she is a member of your Duo plan?

If so, I'd recommend she tries logging out of the Spotify app and back in twice in a row, this can trigger a refresh between the app and her account.

If a Duo plan isn't showing in her account page, I'd recommend you try to add her again following these steps.

Let me know how this goes!

Hey @holasoylara123,

Thanks for your reply and for the info shared.

We hope you don't mind us answering in English as this is the official language of the forum.
 

That being said, we really appreciate the screenshot you kindly sent us. In this case, we'd recommend entering your payment details again in your Account Page> Update. That can help the system refresh.

If the above doesn't do the trick, we suggest you log out and log in twice in a row onto your Spotify account. This could sound a little bit odd, but this way the system will force a resync of your account in general. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
 

Keep us in the loop!
