# Waiving or settling a failed renewal completes again

When you waived a failed membership payment, or recorded that the client paid
another way (cash, bank transfer, MobilePay or an external card terminal), the
payment could stay marked as **failed** even though Booking Bible had closed it
in Stripe. It was also flagged in error as "A cancelled membership was charged".

Both are fixed. A waived payment now shows as **comped** with no charge and no
fee, and a payment you recorded as settled shows the method you chose. If the
card was in fact charged around the same time, the card payment is recorded
instead and Booking Bible's team is alerted, rather than real money being
marked as waived. A real charge on a cancelled membership is still flagged.

Some payments that got stuck this way complete on their own once this update
is live. If one still shows as failed, open the client's payment and choose
**Waive** or **Settle** again with **Don't notify**: the client was already told
the first time, and this now finishes the update.
