What are the common payment issues users face when paying fees through the NextOS app?

When using the NextOS App to pay fees, users may encounter several common payment issues. Below is a categorized list of these issues along with their possible causes:

1. Account-Related Issues

• Incorrect Login: Users may attempt to make payments using an incorrect account, such as a non-parent account or an unregistered one.
• Unlinked Account: The parent account may not be properly linked to the student’s fee records.

2. Payment Information Errors

• Incorrect Payment Details: Errors in entering UPI IDs, card details, or net banking credentials can lead to transaction failures.
• Wrong Mode of Payment: Selecting an unsupported or incorrect payment method may prevent the transaction from being processed.

3. Insufficient Funds or Credit

• Insufficient Balance: The selected bank account, debit card, or credit card may not have enough funds to complete the payment.
• Credit Card Limit: The credit card may have reached its limit.

4. Network and Technical Issues

• Network Connectivity Problems: Poor internet connectivity can disrupt the payment process.
• App or Gateway Issues: Technical glitches in the NLP App or payment gateway can cause delays or failures.
• Transaction Timeout: Taking too long to complete the payment may result in the session expiring or the transaction failing.

5. School-Specific Issues

• Disabled Online Payment: If the school temporarily disables the online payment feature, transactions cannot be processed.
• Unupdated Fee Records: Previous payments may not be reflected, leading to confusion or discrepancies in the dues displayed.

6. Bank or Payment Gateway Delays

• Delayed Bank Response: The bank’s server may take longer than usual to confirm the transaction, causing temporary failures.
• Declined Transactions: Payments may be declined due to the bank’s fraud prevention measures or restrictions on online transactions.

7. Miscellaneous Issues

• Duplicate Transactions: Multiple payments may be attempted for the same dues due to lack of confirmation for a prior transaction.
• Locked Dues: If a previous payment attempt is incomplete or pending, the dues may appear locked in the system.
