Payment error
Please check the billing section on the relevant contract details page in the app. If it says 'Insufficient inventory,' this is due to a stock shortage.
To resolve it, follow these steps:
1) Add stock (or change the product setting to not track inventory or to continue selling even when out of stock)
2) After addressing step 1, return the contract status to 'Active.'
For details on contract status changes, refer to the following URL.

For payment errors other than inventory shortages, we are generally unable to provide support from the app side. For card-related errors, please advise customers to contact their card company to resolve the issue and then proceed to retry the payment.
