Make a practical first pass at payment attempt status

The handoff
A private payment attempt status, verified order context, and possible customer follow-up review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.
Keep in mind
A delayed or duplicate event can make a successful payment look failed, and an unreviewed retry may charge someone twice. Verify current processor and order records, protect payment details, avoid exposing sensitive data in notices, and require an authorized owner to approve retries, refunds, or customer contact.
