Allow to retry payments after failure, including (re)authentication for offsession payments (SCA)

Created on 21 September 2020, about 4 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Even if a payment method was setup for future off session usage, and even though a card processor may automatically seek a Merchant Initiated transaction exemption on off session payments, a customer's card issuer can always demmand Strong Customer Authentication on a payment.

Handling this requires collaboration between commerce_recurring and the payment gateway plugin; neither can handle this alone.

Providing a satisfactory UX for allowing customers to respond to failed recurring payments is also more broadly not a solved problem in commerce_recurring. Current dunning emails ( #2924191: Implement dunning emails ) simply send the customer to the user's payment methods page, which is problematic because
(1) it provides little reassuring context about the payment,
(2) if the customer provides a new payment method, this is not automatically applied to the subscription or the recurring order, and
(3) the payment is not reattempted while the customer is onsite, so may immediately fail again requiring further customer visits.

Proposed resolution

Create a checkout flow that allows customers to pay recurring orders that have failed.
