Stay ahead of billing issues by receiving real-time payment failure alerts directly within your WordPress admin dashboard. With the LC Plugin, HighLevel users are instantly notified of payment problems where they manage their site most—inside wp-admin—so they can act fast and avoid disruptions.

What is Automatic Payment Failure Notification?


Automatic payment failure notification is a built-in feature of the LC Plugin that delivers prominent, contextual billing alerts in the WordPress admin dashboard when a payment fails. This ensures users are aware of payment issues even if they don’t frequently log into the HighLevel platform.


These alerts appear clearly within the wp-admin interface and guide users to take immediate action, reducing the risk of site disruptions due to unpaid invoices.


Key Benefits of Automatic Payment Failure Notification


Understanding the value of this feature helps maximize its impact:

  • Immediate visibility: Billing notices show up where users are already working—in the WordPress dashboard.

  • Proactive grace-period handling: Users have a 3-day window to resolve payment issues before lockout.

  • User-friendly experience: Alerts are dismissible but return on reload/login until resolved.

  • Reduced churn: Proactively notifies users to fix issues and prevent service interruptions.


Grace-Period Handling


The grace-period system helps ensure users aren’t caught off guard while offering a time buffer for resolution.

  • Notification Display Period: For 3 days after a failed payment, the site remains functional but displays an alert.

  • Actionable Prompt: The notice includes a clear call-to-action directing the user to resolve billing.

  • After Grace Period: If the issue isn’t resolved in 3 days, the site lock mechanism will take effect to prevent further use.


Dismiss-and-Repeat Logic


Notifications are designed to be helpful without being intrusive, ensuring that the user is consistently reminded.

  • Dismissible Interface: Users can temporarily close the alert.

  • Persistent Reappearance: The notification will return every time the dashboard is reloaded or on the next login.

  • Until Resolved: Alerts only stop once the payment issue is fully resolved in the HighLevel account.

How To Setup Automatic Payment Failure Notifications


To ensure the feature functions correctly, the LC Plugin must be properly installed and active on the WordPress site.


Steps to Enable Notification Alerts:

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins.

  3. Ensure the LC (LeadConnector) Plugin is installed and activated.

  4. No further setup is needed—alerts will trigger automatically upon payment failure.
