Help a client update their payment method

When a client needs to replace an expired card or change how they pay, they can add a payment method in the Clovo iPhone app. Give them the steps below to complete on their own device.

Add the replacement payment method

1. Open your studio in the Clovo app.
2. Tap You, then the … menu beside their name.
3. Open Payment settings.
4. Tap Add payment method and complete the payment form, including any approval their bank requests.
5. Check that the new method appears under Saved payment methods.

The newly added method becomes the default for the client’s payments and their existing recurring memberships with your studio. They do not need to cancel and repurchase their membership to replace a card.

If the screen says Loading… instead of showing the button, wait for the payment form to become available before continuing.

Remove an old payment method

After the replacement appears in the saved list, the client can swipe left on the old method, tap Delete, then confirm Delete. Use the last four digits and expiry date to identify the old card.

If Could not delete payment method appears, the removal did not complete. They can try again.

If a renewal payment has already failed

Adding a payment method does not by itself confirm that an overdue renewal has been paid. Open Operations → Failed Payments in the dashboard and check whether the renewal is still outstanding and whether another attempt is scheduled.

You can select Send payment request on the failed renewal so the client can open its payment page. Follow Recover a failed membership renewal payment for the request and retry steps.

If the membership is on hold because of the failed payment, that hold is removed when the payment clears, rather than when the client saves a card.
