Payment rail unavailable

rail_unavailableHTTP 503Retry after a wait

What happened

The payment method's provider is temporarily unavailable, so nothing was sent to it and no money moved.

What to do next

Wait for Retry-After, then try again; if a payment was already created for this order, confirm that payment again instead of creating another.

Can you retry?

Retry after a wait. Repeat the identical request after the Retry-After delay, or after a short wait when none is given, with the same Idempotency-Key and body. retry: after_delay
