# Payment Retry Processing

> Failed billing transactions may be retried when payment is due and a valid membership payment method exists.

## Key Rule

Payment retries must never process against expired, invalid, or missing payment methods.

## How It Should Work

* It should retry failed billing only when payment is due.
* It should require a valid membership billing payment method.
* It should update billing status after a successful retry.
* It should keep failed retry attempts visible for support and audit review.

## How It Should Not Work

* It should not retry billing with an expired, missing, or invalid payment method.
* It should not charge the wrong creditor.
* It should not retry when no balance is due.
* It should not hide failed retry results.
