Increase in customer complaints about on-line orders crashing out

Has anyone else seen an increase in customer complaints about on-line orders crashing out and not completing?  We have seen a growing number of calls that after the credit card gets authorized the order fails to compete, leaving the customer with a hold for the auth amount on their account and the order not being sent to the restaurant.  They follow this up with a call looking for a refund that we are not able to give as we never received payment,  and we can not give them their order because we did not get it and they do not want to pay to put the order through again because according to their online banking they already paid.  

Without  a specific problem, it seems of no use to call customer service as the people there will not really be able to do anything so I am not sure if/how to address this. I am mainly wondering if it is an us problem or if other people have been receiving similar complaints.

Thank you for reaching out! You are correct: if there is no record of the transaction having occurred and searching for the last four digits of their card yields no results, there is little support we can provide for further research. The charge they are seeing originates directly from their bank, not from Toast, but if this continues to be an issue still reach out to support to create a case.
Also thank you for reaching out about this; if anyone else has noticed this, please reach out as well!

From the information I am getting for our staff, all they can tell me, is a pop-up error message.  I have asked them to try to collect more information in the future if the complaints continue.  Thank you for your follow up.

I get this pretty often with mobile order and pay. It says on their end the order completed but the transaction never happened so we don't get a ticket and we can't see it on our backend

This also happened to our online ordering from time to time. It's very rare.
