Online payment is the only option. If payment fails, try another way of payment, or try to pay after some time. Our payment gateway is one of the best ones in India. We have experienced that most of the time payment fails due to payment method issues or issues at the bank end. We also observed a few runners did not get OTP while using card payments.
