😅 Reconfirm After Recent Payment

I know I'm super careful about entering my credit card twice when making a booking, but not all travelers are so cautious.

We've had some people go through Checkout Flow to pay their deposit and then IMMEDIATELY pay again on their balance even when they didn't mean to.

So we are now confirming payments made within 20 minutes of any previous payment.

This requires the traveler to click to proceed after being informed they are making "ANOTHER" payment in case they didn't realize the first one completed.

You'll also see more data in your activity feed when payments are made, including whether the payment was a Chip Away payment. to help us troubleshoot any future questions.
