Chase Payments Disruption on Black Friday

We were unfortunately hit with terrible internet connection issues when traffic got heavy on Black Friday, and had to resort to offline mode. Unbeknownst to us, apparently there was a huge issue with Chase Visa Cards being declined at the same time. We received an email from Square long after the unknown customer left informing us that the $119 Visa transaction had been declined. Is there ANYTHING that can be done about this now, or are we just SOL due to a terrible confluence of problems between Chase and T-Mobile?

In addition to the frustration of losing a big sale and essentially giving away inventory, Square does not seemed to be equipped to handle this sort of issue in regards to reporting. I had to really dig, finally looking at the History report, to even figure out what this customer purchased. There is no mention in the list of transactions. And only a time/date of sale, amount, and last 4 of credit card shown on the Transaction Status report.

I appreciate that the items were at least removed from inventory, however, not including them on the Cost of Goods Sold report is a real problem.

The Chase issue was incredibly annoying we had a a lot of debit customers that were having issue.. it's crazy that you didn't know the transaction was declined until later.. wish I had advise for you. Just wanted to let you know we had issues as well.
