What happens when I receive the error “Subscriber Out of Funds”?
When a subscription fails (5 attempts, over 5 days), the subscription will be ‘locked’ and you will need to reactivate it on the PayFast backend or via the API pause endpoint. There will be no penalties from Payfast for this and once we stop trying, we will notify you so that you can follow up and resolve this.
