I've read through multiple discussions here in the forum but I am still not sure, what does it exactly mean when we get Billing Issue + Billing error right when a free trial ends?

From what I've concluded, they payment method didn't succeed. Is this happening because my users may use virtual prepaid cards that expire before the trial ends?

Hi,


Billing errors are actually pretty common, especially on Google Play but they do happen on the App Store as well. They occur whenever a customer’s payment method is declined or otherwise invalid. Because RevenueCat isn’t a payment processor, we don’t see the nitty‑gritty details of why the charge failed (we only know that the store reported “payment failed”) often it’s as simple as an expired card, a bank block, or insufficient funds.
 
You can learn more about billing issues on our docs here: https://www.revenuecat.com/docs/subscription-guidance/how-grace-periods-work#encountering-billing-issues
 
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help however I can.


Best,
Hussain
