For payments processed with PayPal, you will need to monitor your payments through PayPal

If a payment fails with PayPal, you will not be able to see the failure in Kajabi. Any upcoming payments will have the status as "Upcoming," and the overall subscription status will remain as "Active."


PayPal retries

If a payment fails, PayPal attempts to retry the payment every 5 days up to twice per billing cycle. However, if the second retry fails, PayPal counts it as a payment failure, and the failed payment amount will be added to the outstanding balance for the next billing cycle.
