Why was my crypto payment declined or rejected on trip1?
Common causes: expired invoice, wrong network, underpayment, or large-amount AML checks. Each has a fix - contact trip1 support with the transaction hash.
Updated
"Payment declined" on a crypto checkout usually has a clear cause and a clear fix. Here are the common ones and what to do.
Common causes and fixes
Invoice expired before payment landed
Why this happens: CoinGate invoices lock a rate for around 15 minutes. If your transaction confirms after the window, the invoice is marked expired.
How to fix it:
- Contact trip1 support with the transaction hash and booking reference.
- CoinGate reconciles or refunds the payment. Rebook with a faster network so it confirms in time.
Sent on the wrong network
Why this happens: Coin sent on a different blockchain than the invoice expected (e.g. USDC on Ethereum vs. Polygon).
How to fix it: Contact CoinGate support with the transaction hash. Cross-network recovery isn't always possible.
Underpayment (not enough sent)
Why this happens: Network fees were deducted from the sent amount, or a manual typo shorted the total.
How to fix it: Contact trip1 support with the transaction hash. CoinGate will either request the missing amount or refund what was received.
Large-amount AML review
Why this happens: Very large payments may trigger EU MiCA transaction monitoring at CoinGate.
How to fix it: Wait for the compliance review to complete. CoinGate may request additional information; supply it promptly to unblock the payment.
Retrying the booking
Start a new checkout on trip1 and pick a coin and network that will confirm quickly. Lightning for Bitcoin and Layer 2 networks (Arbitrum, Base, Polygon) for Ethereum or USDC confirm in seconds and rarely miss the payment window.
