Context

Your Strapi Cloud project has been suspended due to a missed payment, and you've successfully made the payment but your account still appears suspended. This can happen when payments don't process automatically or when there are issues with payment processing through your bank or card provider.

Answer

In most cases, Strapi Cloud accounts automatically reactivate once a successful payment is processed. However, if your account remains suspended after payment, follow these steps:

Automatic Reactivation

1. Wait up to one hour after payment for the system to process and automatically reactivate your account

2. Try logging into your Strapi Cloud dashboard to confirm access has been restored

Manual Reactivation Options

If automatic reactivation doesn't work:

1. Use the Reactivate Button: Log into your Strapi Cloud account and navigate to the "Billing & Usage" section of your project. Look for a "Reactivate Now" button and click it to retry payment processing

2. Update Payment Method: Go to your account's "Payment Methods" section and ensure your card details are current and valid

3. Contact Support: If the above steps don't work, contact Strapi support. They can:

   • Manually retry charging your card

   • Send you a direct payment link via email from billing@strapi.io

   • Investigate payment processing issues

Common Payment Issues

If you're experiencing repeated payment failures:

• Banking Regulations: Some regions (particularly India) have banking regulations that may block international payments. Contact your bank to approve Strapi/Stripe transactions

• Card Restrictions: Your card may not support this type of purchase. Try a different payment method or contact your card provider

• Annual Payment Option: Consider switching to an annual payment plan to avoid monthly payment processing issues

If you continue experiencing issues after trying these steps, create a support ticket with details about your payment confirmation and project information for further assistance.
