12 English phrases on this page, sorted by tone, each with a Simplified Chinese translation.
Gentle · 4
When the customer is upset and you still want to keep the repeat business
We understand how frustrating this can be. Your payment was not completed, so no order has been confirmed under [订单号].
Please check that your card details, billing address, and available balance are correct, then try placing the order again.
For your security, we cannot see or change your full card details. Your bank may be able to tell you why the payment was declined.
Neutral · 4
For routine notices, no emotion
The transaction for [订单号] was declined or interrupted before payment authorization was completed. No successful charge was received by us.
Please try the checkout again after clearing your browser cache, or use another supported payment method available at checkout.
If you see a pending charge on your account, it is usually a temporary authorization from your bank rather than a completed payment. Please contact your bank for its release time.
To help us investigate, please send a screenshot of the error message, excluding any card number, CVV, or other sensitive information.

When the customer keeps pushing and you need to hold a clear line
For security reasons, we cannot manually process a card payment or accept card details by message. Please complete payment only through our secure checkout page.
We can only reserve the items in your cart after payment is successfully completed. Prices and stock may change before a new order is placed.
Please do not submit repeated payment attempts in quick succession. If a charge appears more than once, send us the transaction reference [交易参考号] and we will review it.
We are unable to confirm [订单号] until payment has cleared. Once you place a successful order, you will receive a confirmation email.

About these phrases: each is sorted by CS scenario and tone, with a Chinese back-translation. What matters isn’t just translation accuracy but whether the line lands well in a CS context — because a literal “we can’t refund you” may already have offended the customer.
