Diagnose Tap to Pay setup failures

Check enablement, environment and signing before treating a phone configuration failure as a payment decline.

Check enablement first

The service must be Active, not merely Offered. Check processor and merchant-country support. If a reseller bills the account, request activation through that provider. Match the installed SDK environment, merchant Test Mode and selected platform package.

Provide actionable diagnostics

Do not reset a production device or start another charge simply because an error resembles a source FAQ example.
